Christmas presents (2012)

These are from a few years ago made for my bro and sis-in-law.  The potholder was the most difficult, mostly because of the way the Aida cloth was attached to the potholder I basically had to flip the pattern upside down and work it backwards so that it would turn out properly.  The coffee one was a kit and it wasn't actually a cross stitch it was an embroidery which is different from what I have been doing for a while so it took a little effort but it was worth it.
