This cottage stitched up fast, mostly because of the detailed windows I think. I wasn't stitching large areas of green for the cottage so it seemed to fly by. Plus those sheep are adorable!
I'm sort of on a roll with stitching cottages, so I'm not sure I want to put this piece down yet. But I need to get going on some knitting projects. So, we'll see what I focus my attention on next while I'm awaiting the start on Santa's Village.
Looking at my finished cottages, I've decided that my January Cottage needs to re-stitched. It will break my heart to rip out the entire cottage plus the snowman and tree, but I'm just not happy with my mistake and the easy fix I made. Also, my stitching is pretty subpar especially on the roof of my cottage and on my snowman. I should rip out and start over right away, so I can get it over with but (and there's always a BUT) it would be a lot easier to stitch a few more cottages before going back to January. Decisions.... decisions.
