P...P...P...Pick up a Penguin!

With issue 207 of "The World of Cross Stitching" came a cute Christmas card design of a skiing penguin. I stayed at my mum's last weekend so, of course, the sewing went with me. I did take my chocolate labrador to work on but it was too big and bulky to get out quietly past sleeping people, so I started the Christmas penguin on the side. 

 

Other than the fact that I ran out of the thread to backstitch with (but I'm sure that was my fault and it wasn't hard to get a replacement match) the design took me a day   to do (and of course, I had to have a couple of Penguin chocolate bars for snacks!) I finished it with the provided aperture card and put it aside for Christmas.




Only thing left to decide: who to give it to??
