Merry Christmas everyone and welcome to the blog hop organized by the lovely Serendipitious Jo
Here's my 12 Days of Christmas by Joan Elliot which I framed last year. I'm so happy to have it as part of my holiday decor. This piece is special to me; it is chock full of color, detail, and backstitching to the nth degree. Plus a sprinkle of the good stuff- gold metallic, beads, and french knots. And though it does pictorialize the old English carol, it's not my favorite. When I took it out this year, my (4 year old) son wanted to sing the entire song, such a cutie.
There's a plethora of wonderful Christmas songs and it's very difficult to pick a favorite. But a newish one I find myself playing over and over is "Everyday is Christmas" by Sia. While not a traditional song, I think it does capture the spirit of the season.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for taking part in the Advent Calendar Blog Hop this year. And for reminding me that I must get MY 12 Days framed. I have the frame, I have the mount board, I just need to get them together!
Thanks for the song too, I am not really a pop music fan but that is a good song with lovely lyrics too. Just needs some soaring guitars and a heavy drum beat LOL

I love Joan's version of the 12 Days. I really want to stitch it some day!

That is a gorgeous stitch. It must have taken quite some time to complete but it looks so beautiful. Love your choice for the frame too. Loved your song choice too. Have a great holiday. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever

Such a beautiful piece, of course your son would want to sing it when he saw it!
I've never heard that song before, it's growing on me.
Happy Christmas

What a beautiful piece and the frame is just perfect. Thanks for sharing your song. I hadn't heard that one before. Merry Christmas!

Wonderful stitching, and the frame really sets it off (in fact, I love the frame and we have one very similar in our living room except not with stitching in)!
I don’t remember that song but it was very nice to hear.
Happy Christmas!
