Cross Stitch: Retro Reindeer Tablemats

You read right…REINDEER.

Rensdyr

Reno

Rénszarvas

Or whatever you call the Rangifur tarandus;

It’s that time again.

No really, it is.

My local supermarket says so. 

Mince pie anyone?

So why am I not groaning in despair like the rest of you?

Because I like reindeer.

 I thought you liked goats?

Goats, Reindeer….same thing really.

(only kidding)

(Okay then)

How about you tell us about the tablemats.

Cross Stitch Reindeer, fir trees and snowflakes.

28 count Permin linen.

Batting & backing fabric.

tadah!

Why Retro?

I used brown thread…on antique look linen?

I was listening to Slade whilst sewing?

 I was snacking on Romkugler?

and that makes it “Retro”?

Probably not,

but ‘Retro Reindeer’ sounds better than

‘looks like something your mum might have made

during the 1970’s’… tablemats.

Touché… or should that be touchy?

(Yawn…)

This isn’t the last of the “Reindeer” is it?

Most definately not.

But first, I need to find where my lovely hubbie

has hidden my Christmas cd’s.

(yes, yes)
