Great stitching everyone; Merry Christmas to all!

Last try...

And now that I have figured out how this works...this is the ornament I stitched for Donna.

Beautiful ornament everyone! Such talent we have!

Sorry I've been slack in posting - I couldn't find the charger to my camera! Finally located it under my bed of all places. Go figure!

I got a very lovely package from Moonchild - she asked me up front if I minded if she used techniques other than cross stitch in my ornament and I said to go with whatever she wanted.. and here's what I got..

First off, a lovely beaded ornament:


That wasn't all in the package though.. There was something that I've been needing but not gotten around to making yet - a needlebook:



I've already put it to good use as I had to leave on a trip the day after the package arrived and instead of sticking my needles in the fabric and hoping they don't fall out like I always do, I was able to use the needlebook.

But there was more! A couple of cute little kits:





And not pictured because I already put it away with all the rest is a generous sized piece of irish linen fabric in either 25 or 28 count - I can't remember exactly right now.

Thank you Moonchild for SUCH a lovely package - you really spoiled me!

wow you did get spoiled! such pretties!

I'm glad you enjoyed everything you got . That was the plan, lol. I was happy to stitch it up and I'm glad it arrived safely and unbroken *whew*.

What a cute way to finish an ornament! In fact I may borrow it and try something similar - on the same pattern as a matter of fact, if I left enough fabric around it. I have a feeling I might not have though. I find it fascinating to compare the two - I was missing some colors on mine and subbed them out with others that were similar and here's how mine ended up..



They're not quite identical twins!

Lovely ornaments everyone! What beautiful Christmas trees y'all are going to have!
