Kaye's January Ornament

Hello Stitching Elves, 

I am so very happy to present to you my first finish for Theme Three: "Be Joyful" by Tempting Tangles Designs (p.70 of the 2016 JCS Ornie Mag).

I mixed it up a bit from the original (see below) - using an orange fabric instead of yellow and chose my own colours for nearly everything, I think.  I am so happy with how it turned out - I do love the intricacy of Deborah's designs.

I haven't decided how I am going to finish it yet, any suggestions?

Looking forward to seeing more January finishes over the next couple of days, 

hugs, 

Advice please....

Hello lovely Christmas Elves ...

Just wanting some advice, please.  I thought that for a change I would try to Finish my latest Christmas Ornie, Xmas Tea, straight away - I know, I know, be still my beating heart!  I am actually going to be organised! lol!

Anyway, reaching into my newly organised tub of Christmas fabric, literally the first fabric that caught my eye was this one:

But then I rummaged around a little bit more and found this one:

I think that I am leaning more towards the second one but I would love a second opinion - so please let me know what you think.

hugs, Kaye

P.S. Don't forget to check out my previous post about ideas for next year's themes.  Looking forward to your input on that post, please.

So far, Theme 1 is appealing to some people whilst some great ideas are coming in for Theme 2.

Tea anyone?

Yay!  I have finished my September theme relatively early this month - all up to date - Yay!  (Don't ask me how far behind I am on the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL - three months and counting, I think!)

I present to you, Xmas Tea....
