I've decided to go with the '12 Days' theme this year. Many years ago I stitched Di Noyce's Aussie 12 Days, but I have never stitched a traditional version. I'm hoping that next time I set up the house for Christmas I will have both Aussie and traditional 12 Days of Christmas ornaments to display.
I had such angst trying to choose a set to stitch that I decided not to commit to any particular 12 Day set, but to pick and choose designs as I please, and then finish them all in the same way.
Here is my January ornament:
The designer is Linda Calverley, and the chart was in the UK magazine The Cross Stitcher, December 1995. I added the border and text.

What a beautiful stitch! I can't wait to see your stitching through the year. I give most of what I make away as well. It's nice to keep a little something for yourself. See you next month.
Great finish. I saw the name Lynne in the title and thought "ooo, Elfie stitched that one too, what a coincidence!"
Welcome back, Lynne and what a great start to your 12 Days collection!
What a cute partridge! Love how you made it your own with the verse! Well done!
So sweet! I love your idea of choosing from different patterns and finishing them all the same. Can't wait to see the whole group at the end of the year :)
