I've decided to skip ahead with my Corinne Lapierre Advent Calendar to Day 20, missing out about 6 days. I wanted to see if I could complete the Christmas mini-scene in time for Christmas Day...
So this is what I did this evening. I don't mind the fireplace being a bit crooked, but I don't think I'm going to be able to live with that settee being nearly on its side! I think I shall attack it with scissors tomorrow morning and try again!
There's a lot to add to this scene; about fifteen pieces to cut out and sew, and a fair bit of embroidery as well; plenty to occupy me over the next couple of days.

22 December – O Rex Gentium
O King of the nations, and their desire,
the cornerstone making both one:
Come and save the human race,
which you fashioned from clay. cf Isaiah 28.16; Ephesians 2.14
These prayers seem as relevant today as they were all those centuries ago
I remember getting a little panicked about finishing mine in time last year!! But the final piece was worth the stress
ReplyDeleteI'm not getting panicked.... I've decided I'm not going to try and finish in time for any particular date!
