I am so happy to have finished this page, which I have really enjoyed stitching - though to be truthful, I might have enjoyed it even more if there were less confetti stitches! This page (page 1) is my sixth stitched page, and it completes my first row of pages - though I have turned the pic round so it becomes the left hand column of rows. My next page will be page 2, and I was very pleased that when I looked at it, my first impression was that most of the 10x10 blocks had just two or three floss symbols in them - and on closer inspection, I found this to be true of just about half the 10 x 10 blocks. Of course, there are some confetti blocks, but the plain stitching is going to be a joy! Page 2 is the only page that has about as many good blocks of solid colour as it does blocks of confetti, so I will enjoy the break from confetti while it lasts.
I'm going to stitch a couple of Christmas ornaments now (well, starting in the daylight hours, not literally right now - it's 2.30am here, too late for me to be up, but you know what it's like when you just have to get those last few stitches in ...) and I'll come back and stitch one more page - that lovely page 2 - of Christmas Dreams this month.

That's amazing. I don't know how you can do it. I love this print and am enjoying watching you stitch it.
Congrats on your first row!!! I love seeing your progress on this project!
Many compliments for your progress
Good work
Congrats on the page finish Elfie. It is beautiful already.

Congratulations on your page and row finish. Enjoy your small break from confetti stitching while you can! I remember reading that on one of the Spangler dragon charts there were 56 different colours in one 10x10 grid! Does that make your confetti seem more manageable now??!! :)
Looking superb
Fantastic progress! You can really see the picture growing.
Haha, yes, those last few stitches are a familiar task around here! Progress like this is huge, congrats!
Great stitching, this looks difficult
