December Ornament

Dear friends and fellow bloggers,

Good morning everyone. It's bright gloomy and early here on Saturday morning. I have a lot of finishing planned for today, now, whether it all gets completed is another matter.
 
-oOo-

I just wanted to say that almost all of the RAKS and gifts have arrived. I shall be putting a post together for them later this month. A package from Katrina came earlier in the week with a beautiful ornament, I'm sure you will love it as much as I do. 😊 Again I will post at a later date, just to keep you all in suspense.

Below are all the ornaments from this year before they all went on the tree. Not bad, I'm quite pleased with the selection.

So on to Decembers' ornament, a recent design by Little House Needleworks. I have stitched on 40ct linen making the design about 3" square. The overall finish of the ornament is about 4" square.

    Andrea, your tree must be so beautiful with all your lovely ornaments. The 'chalkboard' ones are really eye catching.

    Oh so many pretties!! Love them all! I tried stitching a chalk ornament on 40-count fabric... NOT! Guess I will order some appropriate count! I have not seen that LHN Christmas one, so I might add to my order! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!

    Beautiful! I love how you finished the Chalk Ornaments with a big more fabric outside the border so the holly leaves do not cover up the design. Very nice!

    You did a wonderful job on each of your ornaments this year, Andrea, and this last one is so delightful with the little line of cardinals at the top. Your chalkboard finishes look SO much better on black that I'm going to try the 32 ct. black Belfast. I hated the suggested fabric--it looks gray and was very hard to work with as it was quite flimsy. Hope you'll post a photo of your tree for us :)

    I love your collection of ornaments that go onto your tree this year. And I can see some wonderful Prairie Schooler ones among them. They are always worth to show. Very lovely, too, your December ornament.
