It's a long time ..................

since I've done any embroidery
 
But when I pulled out the name of a colleague with a three year old daughter from the Secret Santa hat I thought a Christmas wallhanging with a Father Christmas on it would be just the ticket
 
I've been off work for virtually all this week with a grotty flu type bug - I went back in on Thursday morning and only lasted til lunchtime - yeuch!!!  Hopefully being off again today combined with the weekend will help me knock this on the head and be fit to go back in on Monday for the last week of term as I have a stack of work to get done before we break up for the Christmas break next Friday
 
So a little gentle stitching in between napping is really all I've been fit for this week
 
 
A little red button and some tiny black seed beads give the finishing touches
 
 
 
And here we are - the finished article 
 
Ho Ho Ho!!!

Please don't be in too much of a hurry to rush back - wait until you are really better, however frustrating it is, it will be better for you in the long run.
Your colleague (and her DD!) will be thrilled with your beautiful embroidered Santa!
Get well soon! x
