My Christmas gift to you, my friends, my stitching buds, my readers.
(Blurred intentionally)
This will never be offered again. I custom matched (the best I could) a bluish shade to paint the 5" box. I wax the entire piece and the flash was reflecting.
Please leave your initials or name in the comments on this post and I will draw a name Sunday evening at 8pm EST. If I cannot reply to email you, and the winner doesn't contact me by Tuesday morning, I will draw another name.
Merry Christmas to you all!!
note - if anyone knows the designer of the Merry Christmas banner in my header photo, please let me know.

This is one of my all time favorite designs and then you went the step further and finished up the flowers taking it back to the original pocket book, I love everything about it and making it into a box takes it to a whole new level well done. Thanks for offering it up as a giveaway while I would never say no if I won... I just love reading your blog it always brightens up a day. Thanks for taking the time to post. Hope your Christmas is wonderful.
Can hardly believe you're giving it! Sweet.
Please put my name in the hat. I love it.
I can't help with the banner but I do love the ponies!!!!You do a wonderful job using your stitching to give beauty to other people's homes. I am lucky to have several of your treasures!
Love your ponies! I have the pattern and have wanted to stitch it for years but other things always seem to come first. Love reading your blog. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season filled with love and laughter...Barbara
Beautiful job on the pony box! I'd love to be included in your drawing and, if you are able to respond would like to know the design name. If I don't win then I would love to stitch that design! Thanks!
Your header is awesome. Wish I could help you out with the Marry Christmas designer name. Love all of those Santas.
Merry Christmas!
My daughter in law does.....a real one though. If I won this maybe this would hold her til they can afford a real one...or two!
Thank you for the chance :)

Pick me please oh please did I say pretty please!!!! Charlene (paracletedesigns@gmail.com)
Marly,
I sorta know something about the chart. It is probably a Leisure Arts leaflet from the 1980s. It is part of an Antique Santas chart that I have hanging in my foyer. If I knew how to attach a photo, I would. I'll try via email. I looked through several boxes of storage; I find cross-stitch magazines galore but not the leaflets. I also looked through my old Holiday books, but this chart was too nice to be just part of a book. I'll keep thinking where it might be. I save almost everything, which is why I have so much trouble finding what I want. Sounds like your linen stash!
I'd also love to be in your drawing. ... jan
I don't know the name of the designer but love your header. You are so talented and funny thanks for brightening and inspiring my day. Would love to be entered in your drawing.
Merry Christmas Marly
Your work is beautiful and I would love to be included in your drawing. Merry Christmas, TN Ladybug
Would love ponies for Christmas!! Also, as previously noted in comments above, the banner is from a Leisure Arts chart, Christmas Gentlemen. Also, I think it is in one of their Christmas books, probably from the '80s. Hope the ponies come to my house! Chrie Gould
Oh Marly, it's stunning! I can't believe you're giving it away. (Actually, I *can* believe it: you are always so generous!)
Crossing my fingers for this one. Kristen from MA (KS)

Dear Marly...I cannot express how much I enjoy your blog site. You've been an inspiration to me and definitely set me on the path of cross stitch. Your little pony would be quite at home in my home as he definitely fits my decor. Please consider my Christmas wish for a pony among your other requests. Thanks so much for always cheering my day! Pat T from Delaware
I would love those wee ponies! Please put my name in the hat.
