This is my progress at the end of tonight's stitching session. I'm fairly confident that I will finish this page by the end of this week. I'm enjoying stitching the holly leaves and berries - I have always liked stitching with green and red floss.
I have almost decided on my next Christmas project. I've got plenty of time to get organised - we're talking a January 2011 start at the earliest. But it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. I was half-thinking of HAED Merry Christmas To All (I do have the chart, and I really do love it), but I think back-to-back HAED projects would be a bit much for me. So, when I finish Jolly Old Fellow I plan to stitch L&L's Angel of Hope or maybe L&L's Christmas Angel - the jury's still out on that decision. Either will be a good companion piece for Angel of Love which I stitched in 2005. At this stage I'm favouring Angel of Hope. Though ... the new Angel will hang on a white wall for Christmas 2011, and the brighter colours of Christmas Angel would look very pretty on the wall. Obviously, more thought is required before a final decision. Luckily, time's not an issue here ...

Oh he is definitely saying Christmas to me now! and Looking great too. If it's up for a vote I vote Angel of Hope, but that a personal choice because I know several people in need of hope right now so don't put much stock in it. Hope you are feeling well. Your Totally Useless Container is smashing, ooooops probably not a good descriptive, it looks great.
I'm leanig towards the Angel of Hope. I suppose if push comes to shove I can stitch both, and have a flock of angels to guard my Angel Room for Christmas 2011!
Great progress on your HAED.
I would also vote for Angel of Hope.
