Stitching a Xmas gift

This week I've been stitching on one of Nora Corbett's Christmas Eve Couriers, Donner. I started this at the end of June and have not touched it since. I'm doing it on the recommended color and count of fabric but instead of linen I'm using an evenweave (jobelan). And I'm backstitching and beading as I go, I really don't want to leave all that to the end.
My mom collect reindeers so this is Christmas gift for her Photobucket .
It's a holiday here in Peru so I'm off to stitch and do the beading in the right hand corner ...happy stitching!!!


Esta semana he estado bordando en uno de los renos de Nora Corbett, Donner (Trueno). Lo empecé a fines de junio pero solo bordé un poco en él y después ni lo toque. Lo estoy realizando en el color y "count" de tela recomendados pero en vez de lino estoy usando jobelan. A medida que avanzo estoy haciendo el pespunte y colocando las mostacillas, no quiero dejar todo es0 para el final.
Mi mamá colecciona renos así que este será un regalo de Navidad para ellaPhotobucket.
Hoy es un día feriado en Perú, así que lo voy a aprovechar para bordar un poco más en él y terminar la esquina inferior derecha del diseño. Feliz bordado!!!

Looking good so far. I always try to do my back stitching as I go along, but tend to leave my beading unil the end.

Love your progress so far - good idea to bead etc as you go, makes it much less painful at the end! Looking forward to watching this grow :)
