The Hometown Christmas theme at HOE was a real challenge, its a reflection of cultural identity.
Finishing another few more pieces
The Tree materialized from a sketch I made
As a kid, all species of pine trees are known to me as Christmas Tree,
as such, a tree without decorations and presents beneath, will just be another
pine tree on any one's front lawn or on a beach. A decorated tree definitely
made all the difference.
Its magical to a kid !
This is what Christmas is to me in my perspective through my eyes
My package flew to Melissa C in USA on October 8 and I received words of its arrived on October 25 . I think it turned out quite nicely.

This week marks the 44th week of the year. Nine more weeks before the year comes to an end. I have my schedules up to my neck with year end reports, a charity function and three weddings to attend all in November. I have two more exchanges left to wrap up and a couple more Christmas stitching. The WIP will have to take a back seat for awhile.
*SPM (O-Level equivalent) begins today too. It has been some months and weeks and hours of anxiety, tensions, nervousness and jittery in between irritable, lethargic and exhausting for both the candidate and this mommy. As at this morning, the feelings has not been calm, I think it has escalate.

Lovely stitching and finishing!! Everything looks great.
I hope the exams go well. The kids here do Leaving Certificate Exams, which are equivalent to the O levels (they determine what degree & college the student goes to), but with more subjects. I have my twins studying for theirs now. My son did his in June & wasn't happy with his math result so he's redoing this year and will resit the exams in June. Best of luck to your student, and to you! I know how fraught with nerves this time is.
Lillie your stitching and finishing look great.
I am sorry I do not understand SPM. One of your children is moving on in school? I hope they do well.
all of them are so pretty. I love the finshing on each piece. There are so many things we can do to finish a piece.
I like Your tropical Christmas Tree very much as well as the other lovely stitching finished by you !
