I like that card, Serinde! With the little creek behind my house having frozen a bit overnight, it seems like the perfect card for January! A darker fabric might have made it easier to see the ice and snow, but the white background gives it that kind of misty wintry feeling which I like.

Oh Yes please!!! I have never joined a group before! but this thread convinced me!!! I can't wait to share just as soon as i figure out how to post things. Computer stuff is not my forte .

Those two little pillow blackwork ornaments are lovely.

Here's January's card! Unfortunately it's pretty much the Eye of Faith that can see the detail (should have done it on darker blue fabric). But it is quite sparkly -- including a river of ice!

I think it's quite lovely just the way it is! Though if I may make a suggestion - maybe line the back of the stitching with a piece of white fabric? That way the red card won't show through the holes in the aida. I find myself focusing on the little dots rather than the stitching whenever I look at it. I think that might also help to make the design more prominant.

You know, I never noticed. Perhaps it's not so obvious in real life, but that's a good suggestion and I'll check.

Will do the finishing part after I search through my fabric bin to see what I will use for the backing. They will be made into pillow ornaments. These small ornaments that are on my "to be stitch" list will keep my needle smoking and hopefully I will be able to reach one of my 2014 goals! ( 12 ornaments )

Finally got around to starting my January ornament! It's pretty quick going so I should be done this month! I have to sub colors out since I don't have them, but I think it's looking nice so far!
