How did you decide to finish the canning lid ornaments?
I used cardboard, with very low loft fiberfill between the stitching and the cardboard. Pushed that into the lid, then used the seal that come with the lid. Hot glue holds the hanger on and hopefully holds everything together. I know they arrived in Oregon safe and sound. :-)

I finished this little guy a couple days ago. (Well, it’s almost finished…I have to add beads for the eyes but my beads are at home and I’m in Cheyenne.) This is “Just For You” from Bothy Threads, and it will be made into a card.

I finished another little guy. This is Under the Mistletoe from Bothy Threads. This and Just for You are both Margaret Sherry, which I’m pretty sure you already guessed. I have some beads to attach to the mistletoe but I’ll do that when I get home.

This nonstitching “little guy” keeps me too busy to do much more than work on small projects while I’m up here.

I love that "little guy". Under the Mistletoe is precious. And the other "little guy" is way too cute. Keeping that fur clean cannot be easy.

Actually they are surprisingly easy to keep clean. Because of the kind of fur they have, dirt doesn’t really stick to them. Their feet will get dirty but the rest stays clean. It’s like magic.

They do get hot in the summer but they do okay as long as they don’t have to stay out in it a lot. Their double coat actually acts a sort of insulation against the heat. Some people have been known to shave their Samoyeds, which is a terrible thing to do. Their skin is very sensitive and they can easily burn. They need their beautiful white coats.

I picked this one up from the Hobby Lobby framing department a couple days ago. I really like how it turned out.

Image

And the beads were added to these little guys and they are now cards. “Just for You” was given to my neighbor/friend yesterday and “Under the Mistletoe” goes into the Christmas 2022 pile.

Oh ny goodness you have a "2022 pile" of cards already????? Totally amazing. I am still trying to finish what should be the last card motif for this year.

Well Done and I too love the frame which was chosen. :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:
