There has been no further progress on the Dimensions Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit Height Chart (gifted to my niece by a friend, and stitched by me at my niece's request). I am still waiting for the extra birth and height details my niece wants added to it. The poor dear is midway through renovations on the house they moved into just before Christmas, and she has better things to thnk of than the details I want. I have now back-stitched a border around the stitched design, and on the backing fabric, and I have felt and cardboard ready to stiffen it, so I am all ready to finish it off. I am hopeful that the finishing method I have in mind will allow easy removal of the internal stiffening so extra details can be stitched, and the chart can be laundered. I have decided to go ahead and make it up anyway (just as soon as I finish my current page of Christmas Dreams and get those little trees decorated and framed).
Which brings me to my current WIP, HAED Christmas Dreams (chart, fabric and most of the floss bought with birthday money/vouchers). Here is where I started at four weeks ago (13 pages stitched):
And here is Christmas Dreams now, with 17 pages stitched and just the face/head to go on the 18th page (which will complete the 3rd of 11 rows of pages). I am stitching it sideways, but I turned it around so you can see my lovely Santa properly. Four pages finished in the past 4 weeks - a record for me! When the page I am stitching on is finished, the picture will be 30% complete. Yay!

Beautiful work on everything! Your little and not-so-little trees are lovely, and such a nice idea. Fantastic progress on Santa as well.
Goodness, you have done a lot of stitching on the lovely Santa design and the little trees will make delightful gifts.
I like how you are stitching xmas ornaments round the year, so well planned.
I'm in awe of your progress on Santa.
Everything is fabulous. The trees are lovely, I can't wait to see them with beads, very intriguing.
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I do love all your little trees. I really should make one myself this year.
Awesome progress on Santa too, you really have done loads on him this year.
Those tiny trees are amazing especially the beaded one (and the ones in your last post too)
I can't believe how much you have stitched on Santa! He looks a bit scary without any eyes...
Lovely beaded and naked trees too!
Your progress on Santa are amazing, nearly 30% that's great, congrats! Amitiés
I love your trees, especially the beaded one.
Santa is coming together nicely, bet he can't wait to see!
Christmas Dreams has grown so much, its beautiful.
Love the beaded tree.
