I have been planning to make these cross-stitch ornaments for my daughter, Lizzie for two years. There are six pieces in the Polar Plunge series and I even have the wooden frames to mount the pieces onto. I made a fatal mistake last year and bought oil paint instead of quick drying acrylic paint.
I got the project out of storage two weeks ago to work on at my Wednesday morning group. I have Penguin Pair completely stitched but decided not to work on Whale Hello There as there were no big blocks of colour to work on, just lots of counting, which I know is not my strong point.
Instead, I started Polar Bear Peek and I have made good progress. I think my plan will be to finish stitching the two pieces that are nearing completion, pick up some scrapbooking paper either here or in Bradford in two weeks' time so that I can complete three to gift this Christmas.
That will leave me Wally the Walrus, Narwhal (PDF pattern) and Puffin Party to complete next year.
