Pretty Christmas Tree

I've just finished the christmas tree that I started a week or so ago. It's stitched on 16 count white aida, as I wanted it to be small enough to back it with felt and attach a ribbon to the top and use it as a decoration somehow. There are a couple of others in the series that I'd like to do to make a matching set. The chart was from Cross Stitch Favourites special Christmas issue:



I have to admit that I got a bit bored with the pink border - but I'm pleased I perservered. I've definately got my stitching bug back now and I've got a couple of ideas for quick-stitch Christmas pressies (which I can't talk about obviously!). I hope I can get the motivation back to start working on my bigger projects sometime soon, as I'd really like to get them finished so that I can start some others!!
