More UFO finds

I've found some more unfinished projects while going through my cross stitch hoard, and thought I would share (again). Will I ever run out of UFO's? I doubt it. Will I ever FINISH the UFO's? Possibly - slowly.

1. NON-FREEBIE - "Rooster" - ('On The Farm' booklet - DMC):

Design - Rooster

Designer - Jeanette Crews Designs (On The Farm DMC booklet)

Fabric - 14 count green aida

Threads - 310, 321, 414, 415, 712, 762, 841, B5200 (white)

(original design in rayon threads)

I started this one for my Dad, who breeds hens and roosters. Back in the day when it was possible to walk into any craft store and buy various coloured aida fabric, I bought a gorgeous green (never seen the same colour since though, which is a shame, as it is a stunning green, not at all shown to its best in the scan above). This rooster, when he is finished, is destined to be the centre of a cushion, the fabric around to be farmyard-based. From the booklet, I know I had planned this to be Dad's Christmas present in 2004, so I must have started it that year. 

2. NON-FREEBIE - "Christmas Alphabet" - (Cross Stitch Alphabets)

Design - Christmas Alphabet

Designer - (BOOK) - Cross Stitch Alphabets

Fabric - 14 ct ecru aida

Threads - as per design

This one will eventually declare itself as "Merry Christmas". I might even get it finished in time for a future Christmas :-)
