Day #22 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Believe by Mary Engelbreit. This chart is in the book,
Mary Engelbreit Christmas Ideas, Make Good Cheer! I'm stitching on 28 ct black Cashel linen and it will be about 11" x 16". I started in the middle on Santa's coat, which has 4 different shades of red. Most of the colors in the design are tweeded, or blended, 2 strands of one color and 1 strand of another color. I really enjoyed stitching on this linen!

I also stitched on another Christmas design from my
WIPocalypse list,
Candy Cane Christmas by Ursula Michael. I started this for the Crazy January Challenge last year but never stitched on it again after the first day. Today I stitched on the letter "M" in Merry. I'm using very sparkly Charles Craft Stardust silver-dusted 14 ct Aida and it will be 11" x 8".
