It snowed for most of yesterday. The plant pots look like ice cream cones and the Yucca plants are overladen with snow.

Andrea of The Craft Room has stitched and finished Christmas Greetings as part of her annual RAK. Andrea's stitching and finishing are amazing so please visit her blog for more pictures of this and her beautiful work. Christmas Greetings is stitched on 36ct antique white Edinburgh linen with WDW Holly and DMC 115. Thank you Andrea for allowing me to post this picture.

Christmas Greetings is still available as a freebie from iStitch Designs *here* .

And now for the gold as mentioned in the title to this post. Here is a sneak preview of Sew Golden WIP stitched on 55ct blanc cassé Gander linen with Soie Surfine 679. I'm not too sure it shows up too well though so I thought I would post this picture and get some opinions - do I carry on with this or re-think fabric and thread?

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend

Take care
