What an inspired idea to use bugle beads for the body much more ralistic than the round ones, really! I was looking forward to this one, your colours are so striking I just knew it was going to look great.
I can't quite see what beads you've used for the square filets, are they bugles as well? *note to self: try beaded stitches with bugle bead*
I love your colour scheme Mags, very subtle, very much in contrast to Wendy!!!! So vibrant. I love your dragonflies' bodies in the bugle beads. What a great idea
Two beautiful yet very different colour schemes

The beads for the square filets are the same round ones I've used before, Clear with a blue insert... they don't show up as well on the photo as I used the dark for the filet threads.
What a bright and cheery December you have stitched! I love the colors and your beautiful stitching!

Well, in the chaos of sleepless nights and zero time for myself, I did manage to slowly stitch December, despite Erik's habit of crying every time I picked up a needle. So happy to been able to take part in this SAL and to actually make it within the time frame designed for it! Once again, thank you so much, Mabel!!
And here's a little Ho Ho Ho from my little one, who turns one little month on Christmas Eve.

I agree with Mabel. Two gorgeous projects! Congrats on finishing the SoW so beautifully. It's amazing how they seem to know just when you would like a little bit of stitchy time (or sleep time for yourself) that it is the time to demand attention! Hopefully you will all get more sleep soon .

I've just finished putting away my beads and perles, and the printed copy of all the charts have been put into the folder I have with all the marked up copies of finished charts because I have finally have had a chance to stitch December.
Threads: Presencia Cream and Cotton Garden Burgandy, Tool Shed, Sweet Gum, Blue Wren, and Peacock. Beads for dragonflies are Miyuki size 15 and square filets are size 11 (I don't have a needle that will thread Perle #12 and fit through a size 15 bead)
All designs together
All I have to do now is to trim them down and turn them into coasters once I get the cardboard to put behind them.
I agree. December is beautiful and all of them together is stunning. They will be coasters that are too pretty to cover up with a glass of anything!
