Christmas Ornament Finishes

I haven't been blogging much lately but I sure have been stitching!!!!!

The first 3 ornaments are from the 2015 JCS Special Holiday Issue - Christmas Ornaments.

 Merry Christmas - Samplers Not Forgotten

Winter's Eve - The Prairie Schooler

 

Very Merry Christmas - Medina Originals

The next are ornaments from the CCN Classic Collection - Holly Jolly and  By the Chimney.

The final ornament is from LHN - Deer Valley Inn.

 

I will be back later with some more finishes and some new starts.

 Thank you for looking!!!!

 

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccck!

As least I hope this won't be a false start and that I will continue to post on a more regular basis. I don't really know why I stopped, probably just a combination of "life" and laziness.

I wish you all the best of the season and I hope you are all doing well and that it continues to be so in the New Year.

I going to start with some of my finishes since my last post, way back when. Most of these have been completed within the last month. I didn't stitch much over the summer (another reason for not posting - nothing to show.)

 I started the following back in January as part of the DUCJC 2015 (Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge 2015). I kind of stop working on it as the summer approached but at the beginning of November I took it with me to a craft camp which inspired me to finish which I did November 29, 2015. It is "99" by Ink Circles. I stitched it on the suggested fabric 32ct Ale from Picture This Plus. with DMC cotton.

One finish I did manage back in June is Tribal Maple Leaf © White Willow Stitching.

I stitched it with CC Fallen Leaves.


Some more recent finishes are 3 Christmas ornaments -  Snow Love & Christmas Cheer © Country Cottage Needleworks and Hallelujah © Little House Needleworks.

My final finish is one of the 2 charts in Harvest Hunt "Britty Kitties" © Brittercup Designs - Kitty on Pumpkin.  (I hoping to have the other one - Kitty with Ghosts - finished before hitting the sack tonight.)

Well, that is it for now.  I will be back soon with some WIP pics, some challenges for next year and hopefully some more finishes.

Take care and happy stitching!!!!

Thank you for visting!!!!

A Couple of finishes and an Update on Christmas SAL

I finally managed to do some stitching this past week.

I finished the backstitching on the 2008 Buff-bellied Hummingbird. A BIG THANK YOU to Twig for gifting me this chart along with the fabric and floss. I loved stitching it.

And I managed to finish another ornament.

Finally, here are pictures of another motif and stanza of "The Night Before Christmas" . I am slowly getting to the end of this one.



Tomorrow I hope to get some stitching done on the TW "Peacock Tapestry" and the KK "Naptime Dragon".

Till next time!!!!!!

First Christmas Ornaments for 2010

I completed 2 Christmas Ornaments this week. Both are Mill Hill kits.

Winter Holiday - Nutcracker Ballet - Mouse King © Mill Hill

Winter Greetings - Charmed Ornaments - Believe © Mill Hill

I am still working on Day 3 of the TW Twelve Days of Christmas. This is going to take a little longer to complete. I also started 2 more ornaments - LHN Winter Sampler from the 2009 JCS Christmas Ornament Magazine and another Mill Hill Kit - Nutcracker.

Earlier this week I broke down and ordered the first 2 charts of the LHN Monthly Ornaments. I love her designs and since I am always stitching ornaments I couldn't resist any longer. I "needed" them (LOL).

As a result I also joined the Little House Needleworks Monthly Ornaments Stitch-A-Long Blog
Too! Since it will be a couple of weeks before I get them I pulled out all the patterns for LHN and CCN ornaments from the JCS Christmas Ornament Magazines. I am hoping to stitch a few of them this year.

This seems to be my year for joining. I also signed up for the 2010 Ornament Challenge. Not a big deal. All I need to do is stitch at least one ornament a month and post a picture. I am doing it anyways.

Happy Stitching!
