30 in 30: Presents in Progress

So back in July a friend of mine mentioned she had already started her count down to Christmas, at the time I couldn't believe it but now I find myself with several Christmas gifts already in the making.  I'm a little bit more than half way done with this one and I have been working on it for about 20 minutes a day during my lunch break.  Its a nice relaxing rest in the middle of my day, most days I get so involved I don't want to go back to my desk! I think to myself 'just one more row'!!



When all is said and done this will be a biscornu pin cushion for one of my aunts or maybe my mom, I haven't decided just yet.


A little more than 50% done and I love them already.  I snagged the pattern from the free gift pattern book that came with The World of Cross Stitching issue 189 but chose not to use the free pink and purple threads that came with it.  The ladies in my family aren't pink lovers so a change of colors was needed. 

The patterns work up so easily I may just have to stitch up a few more :)
