October Ornament

Hello again!

I hope everyone is having a lovely October!  So far our October here in eastern Canada has been fairly nice.  Just wet and windy.

This month I chose Christmas ABC by Shepherd's Bush from the 2011 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue.  I chose this because there are 4 presents in it, well 3 for sure and one that I am 75% sure it is a present.  Can you find them all?

I really had a lot of fun stitching this and can't wait to get started on more Shepherd's Bush patterns!

I love all the themes for next year!  Right now I am going to check out what I have that I want to stitch that I can sneak into the themes each month.  :)

Happy Halloween everyone!!

And if you don't celebrate Halloween, Happy Stitching!

Christmas clothing...kinda

Hello friends!

This month I stretched the theme a little.  I mean there is a stocking and Santa is wearing clothes.. that works right?

This was a really fun quick stitch.  It is Merry Motifs by Homespun Elegance from the 2011 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue.  And please imagine it is sewn into a little triangle pillow with some sweet little buttons used to hold the ribbon on for a hanger.  Isn't it sweet?  :)

I used a linen scrap I had and Weeks, Gentle Art and Crescent Colors for the threads.

I am loving everyone's sweet clothing ornaments and have been adding to my wish list, A LOT!

See you next month!

Winter Squirrel

Hello Ornie friends!

This month I chose a small design so I wouldn't be late again :)

This is Winter Squirrel by The Victoria Sampler from the 2011 Just Cross Stitch Christmas issue.  It is stitched on Crystal Wren 28ct Cashel from Picture This Plus that I had leftover from another project and I used DMC.  I am not sure how I am going to finish it yet but I will try to remember to share a picture when I do.

I am looking forward to seeing what animal everyone has chosen!

4 Little Reindeer

Hello!

This month I chose to stitch Yuletide by Plum Street Samplers which can be found in the 2011 Just Cross Stitch Christmas Issue.  It is stitched on 32ct linen with threads I chose from my stash.

I am a one trick pony in the finishing department but my mother is a seamstress so for something a little more elaborate than I can manage I am going to take this with me next weekend and see what she comes up with.  I will try to remember to share a picture when it is done.

Can't wait to see what you all stitch next month!
