I did it…..I managed to finish the Bucilla Santa tonight. I did a long and great Happy Dance when I was done. This is also my first finish for 2009 and it is a huge one, one that I have been waiting for too long. Anyway without a further ado here is the picture.
I was able to find out more information about this project to tell you a bit more about it.
The Best Of Christmas
Design by Linda Gillum
A kit by Bucilla
Stitched on Natural Fleck 14ct Aida
Probably started stitching in 1991/1992
Finished January 3rd, 2009
It spent quite a while in my UFO case but I have stitched on it on and off over the years, mainly before Christmas promising myself that “this Christmas” I would finish it. Now I only have to come up with a way to finish this so that I can enjoy it before next Christmas.
Now I have finished off the first round of my rotation. Wednesday next week I will start round 2 of the rotation. I can’t wait as I have got some exciting new starts coming up. Is that a motivation or what. 
Well, I am off to bed with a huge happy smile on my face. Tomorrow I will be stitching on a secret project which I will probably finish.
Congrats on a darling finish! You’re way ahead for next Christmas!!!
YAY! What a great finish Edda

Congratulations on a stunning finish which I know will be taking pride of place on your wall next year.
I am playing catch up so wanted to say how much I like your “warwickshire ring” those maps always look so daunting.
Happy New Year to you, hubby and the girls – may it bring everything you need and a lot of what you wish for my friend.
That is really cute. You did a great job on it.
