Whenever I find little wooden boxes and such for a good price, I buy them with the intention of adding cross stich, punch needle, etc., to the top. I have plenty of boxes but this is the first time I have actually used one.
A sweet little dome top box missing its escutcheon. The inside has some bright green velvet rather poorly added but I left it as is.
I stitched this fun little Santa a few years ago. Pattern is by Lori Brechlin of NotForgottenFarm. You can find her here on etsy. It was the perfect fit for the little box. I have never glued a piece of cross stitch before, but I am pleased with my results. Another gift to cross off my list!
My Samsung dishwasher door replacement saga continues. The bottom line is that they assured me the door was in only to cancel because it was not. Rescheduled and I did not even get a courtesy call to tell me they were not coming. Of course you can't talk with a supervisor, they just connect you to Samsung who after a half hour on the phone tells you the part is backordered and they have no idea when it will be in. The last person I spoke with was still playing the pandemic card. ARGH!!!
But the good news is that Christmas is in 11 days and I think I am ready. That has never happened before, but I must be forgetting something major that should be on one of my many lists...lol.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Been following your dishwasher saga - at this point I would be insisting to Samsung and the dealer that you get a replacement dishwasher installed at their cost or you would contact a lawyer and the state consumer affairs department. Enough is enough!
ReplyDeleteSorry that saga is still ongoing.
ReplyDeleteWell, per that last picture, I've been meaning to talk to you about your attitude, LOL.
That stitch is perfect on the box. Rarely does that happen to me. I stitched that design too, it's in a pile to fully finish.
ReplyDeleteDid the contractor get the DW or did you buy it? Usually there is an alternate panel behind the installed one. Maybe the seller is willing to switch a stainless panel from a floor model?
You did a great stitchery and perfect size for the box. The recipient will be very lucky and happy.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job of using that cute cross stitch on that little wooden box. It looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about that dishwasher door. This is very unacceptable. Yay, for you to be ready for Christmas.
My brother-in-law died and so we are dealing with this. Take care. I'll keep in touch.
Hugs, Julia
What a sweet little finish. It will make such a precious gift. I'll have to scout out that design...sometime. Nary a Christmas stitch got taken here. It makes me sad. Bummer about the dishwasher.... I know your frustration too well. This will be my 3rd winter without a fireplace. And, to top things off, I've had not 1, but 4 furnaces go out on me in the past month...three in the past 2 weeks alone. Plus a refrigerator door light and a printer. Not sure who hexed me, but it's packing a wallop. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteYour cross stitch looks so pretty on the box !
ReplyDeleteI would try to get a totally new dishwasher at this point ....UGH !!!
Hi - Great lil box, love your finish! Happy Holidays :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece you made! That is a great gift.
ReplyDeleteI still have a couple of things but on is not due until after Christmas.

Your box piece turned out great! Well done you! The last person who played the pandemic card with me. . .I told them it was accountability issue which began and ended with them! Ahhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteSweet cross stitch you stitched. I started 2 small Christmas ones and finished neither of them. Shooting for next year now. Janice
