I guess I should have waited a couple more days...haha. I didn't expect to finish up my June ornaments so quickly. Sorry for posting so soon. First is the 12 Days of Christmas theme...I stitched 6 Geese-a-Laying from the book 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. This was stitched on 32 count ice blue linen over two. I do love how these are turning out!
Next is the designated year from the JCS Ornament issues...this month was 2006. I chose Mary and Joseph by Shepherd's Bush. Stitched on 40 lambswool over two with substituted DMC threads. This was a fun stitch!
And last is The Nutcracker theme with Owl being our subject this month. I chose a pattern called Christmas Cross Stitch #7 by The Floss Box. Anyone who knows me will know that I love owls...so I had quite a few in my pattern collection. I've always wanted to stitch this one. I did omit the border because I want to finish this as a round ornament. I also changed the color of the moon from white to yellow. It just didn't look right the other way around. It's stitched on 40 count Summer Khaki over two.
So...I guess that's it for this month. See you next month (Lord willing and the creek don't rise). Happy Stitching!

I love your goose and owl and of course a Shepherd's Bush is always a favorite of mine :) Beautiful stitching!
Beautiful stitching. I love the owl! I stitched all those Shepherd's bush ornaments into one piece telling the whole Christmas story as a baby gift. It came out very sweet.
The owl is so sweet, they are perfect for Halloween AND Christmas!
So cute! This 12 days series is very attractive and I love the owl!
