Cheryl's Nov and Dec Ornaments

For my November ornament, I selected "Snow" by Valerie Danish.  This pattern is featured in the 2015 Just Cross Stitch Special Holiday Issue.  I stitched the pattern on 14 ct plastic canvas, and backed it with black felt.  I actually started stitching this one in November, but got too busy with work.  I finished it last week.

For my December ornament, I stitched "Quaker Flower" (freebie) by The Stitcherhood.  I have yet to finish it into an ornament ... but the stitching is complete.


Merry Christmas!

November II.

Skoro som to nestihla :-)

Ďakujem vám za milé komentáre k prvej novembrovej časti - Justine, Kaye, Noni, Bea, Jo, Rita, Brigitte!!!
Na poslednú chvíľu som tu predsa s mojimi snehuliakmi:

Teším sa na december :-)

Nech sa vám darí!

Still in time - a snowman

Dear friends,

he is finally finished, my snowman for this month. I finished the stitching part last week but then wasn't motivated enough to sew on the little buttons - until this morning :) So here he is.

I also started another little snowman but it will take one more day to finish him. But I'll show him when he's done.

Happy stitching,
Brigitte

October & November Finishes!

Surprise, surprise... I do have two finishes to show you today!

October's theme first:
Remember some time ago I showed you my "Joy Angel" and she was looking bit strange....

Well, she is all finished now and currently on her way to England to be added to the Christmas Tree of Joy that Clare-Aimetu is organising for her local church.  Hopefully the tree will be full of cross stitched ornies from around the world all with the word "Joy" on them in one form or another.

The second finish that I have to show you is my choice for November's theme.  I love snowmen and had a terrible time choosing which one to stitch.... so in the end I didn't do any!!

Instead I went with a Fizzy Moon freebie that I had in my stash...  it is sort of a winter scene, don't you think?

Fizzy Moon Freebie - Cross Stitch Card Shop (issue 92)

This freebie was published in the Cross Stitch Card Shop magazine (issue 92).  I decided to cover the plain white card with a vintage winter scene scrapbook paper that I had and then added a snowflake to fill in the rather large white space at the top.

So that's me all up to date again!!

Now I just have to think about my December choice....

Til next time, happy Christmas Stitching!

November I.

Najskôr sa chcem poďakovať za milé slová v komentároch. Brigitte, Kaye, Bea, Annie, Justine, Rita, Jo, Noni, veľmi ste ma potešili, ďakujem vám z celého srdca!

Dnes vám chcem ukázať aspoň časť novembrovej témy - snehuliak:

U nás stále prší. Nedá sa ísť do prírody, tak sa budem venovať vyšívaniu :-)

Pozdravujem všetky moje priateľky z Christmas Ornie SAL!!!!
