Killing two birds with one stone

...so to speak. I have another finish that ticks two boxes. It was Honeybee's chosen free design for July in the monthly freebie challenge over at 123 stitch. It was also a free choice month on the "Christmas all year 'round" blog challenge so I decided the above-mentioned design would fit the bill. Here it is. Note that I actually "finished" it too! :


* Name of the design is Cozy Christmas Wishes - Cozy with a Z that is
* Chart is a freebie from Lizzie Kate
* Fabric is an off cut of lightly mottled lemon evenweave
* Thread is "Turkish Red" Weeks Dye Works for the wording, border and trim on the mug. DMC cotton for the rest
* Stitch count is 49 x 48 plus the border which I added
* Started on July 21st 2013
* Completed on July 24th 2013, using brads and braid to finish it into a mini pillow
