About a year ago, my friend Robby in Scotland, taught me how to make a wall pocket. As I contemplated a finish for my Merry Christmas piece, the wall pocket idea came to mind.
You can slip in a few Christmas cards or maybe a candy cane or two.
Here's the link for the tutorial that Robby put together.

I really love to do different finishes for my cross stitch pieces. Framing is nice, but there are so many different ways to display your needlework. It's so much fun to add a bit of whimsy or surprise to a piece.

I also decided to stitch a freebie by Pineberry Lane. It's a quick stitch that I think I'll make into a small ornament. I may actually make a few of these. I stitched this on Prairie Grain Linen with GA Rhubarb for the word Xmas and Ecru for the star.
Well, I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, so I think I'll take it easy the rest of the day.
Stitching will have to wait. Time for some hot soup and a cup of tea.
Hope you are enjoying the day and thank you for stopping by to visit.

Nan, I know this is an old post... but I ran across it and LOVE the background fabric in the last photo... is it old or something you purchased in the last few years? Any idea of where it can be found? Thanks! :)
