First up this month is the 12 Days of Christmas, 8 Maids a Milking. These ornaments were first published in the May 1989 Cross Stitch and Country Crafts magazine. This was stitched on 28 ct. over one on white even weave.
Next was Christmas Carols and Santa Clause is Coming to Town was this month's theme. This is 1999 Christmas Ornament by Vermillion Stitchery from the 1999 JCS Christmas ornament issue. I love the vintage look, but because it was stitched on 28 count Hermosa by Picture This Plus over one, it distorted his face a bit. I'm trying to decide if I should take out the outlining and do something a little different with his face. I tried a little bit, but because it was stitched over one, it's quite difficult....He may have to stay looking like Quasimodo. haha
Last is the JCS 2005 ornament. I chose Snowman Mitten by Ursula Michael. This was also stitched on 28 count white even weave over one. (I'm a glutton for punishment, aren't I? LOL) I love his jolly face, and the bright primary colors. I think he's my favorite for this month!
And that is all that's fit to print. Happy Stitching everyone!

Your over one stitching is amazing! These must be even more stunning in person!
Your one over one stitching is beautiful. I don't think Santa looks like Quasimodo :)
Great finishes! I'm proud of myself when I get ONE stitched! ;O)
