First Finish in Years Plus WIPs List

I have to celebrate as I finally have a cross stitch finish to post after quite a few years. I think the last time I touched a needle was in 2015. YAY!!! It's hot off the needles and hasn't been pressed or anything yet. I'm so happy with the outcome and have already started another Secret Needle Night Kit! Now more about this cute finish...

This kit is one of The Silver Needle Secret Needle Night kits from December 2000 and is called "Winter Games". It is stitched on 10 ct aida and uses a variety of speciality threads. It features a hand made button that has a hat that matches the adult penguin's hat. Just so adorable and so much nicer in person!

With this finish, I've been motivated and dug out my WIP list and here's what I need to finish:
