Let It Snow

I purchased this as a kit at my LNS.  It is a Lizzie*Kate design.

Frosty in the Firs

Yet another ornament which languished in the finishing pile for far too long.  I first reported on this lovely piece on January 28, 2012.

Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2011

Deer in a Forest

Here is another ornament which I stitched a while ago, at the beginning of 2012 to be exact, but I just finished it this past Christmas. 

This is Deer in a Forest by Niky's Creations.  It was published in the 2011 Just Cross Stitch Christmas issue.  I love the way it came out!

2007 Pinecone Ornament

Long time, no blog.  This winter seems like it has lasted forever.  I think everyone is tired of cold, a little bit of snow, and the never-ending grey that dots our landscape.  But the tulips, hyacinths, and crocuses are pushing their heads up in our gardens, and we have heard the Canada geese flying overhead, so we know spring is on the way.  It's just a matter of time.

I finally went through the pictures on my computer, most of which were from Christmas.  I have some ornaments to share.  Not all were stitched last year; some simply languished in my finishing pile - and have now been replaced by others!

The first and only picture of this ornament I showed was way back here.  It is called 2007 Pinecone Ornament by Melissa Dunajski, and it is in the December 2007 issue (#23) of The Gift of Stitching magazine. 

I will be back shortly with more ornaments.

Another Ornament

It's been a while since I've turned a cross stitched piece from one of my aunt's card into an ornament or pinkeep, but when I decided to work on some finish finishing this week, this piece was in the pile.

I'll be adding this one to my 3 foot tree of handmade ornaments - a new addition to our home that has yet to find a permanent place.  (I plan to leave it out all year round.)
