| This one is my favorite of the ones that I did. |
I actually finished these back in July, so that I could post about them over on my Christmas blog,
Mrs. T's Christmas Kitchen. During Christmas in July, I shared little tutorials on several ways to finish a cross stitch ornament.
But, because the one ornament keeps catching my eye as I walk by our still-decorated Christmas tree, and because I know there are people who visit here that don't always get to my Christmas blog, I decided to just share the photos here. If you are interested in the how-tos, please visit
my Christmas blog.

| How "Jingle Bells" looked before finishing. I found a frame and was inspired to add the real jingle bells and bow. |

| Unfinished "Sleigh Ride" |
 |
| Finished product. This turned out too large for the tree so I hung it from a cupboard doorknob where it added some cheer. |
 |
| "Silent Night" before finishing |
 |
| Just a simple finish with glue, trim and cardboard, but it turned out quite nice. |
Hope you've been inspired to make some ornaments, if you enjoy cross-stitch! It can be a quick and easy project if you use simple designs as I did.
Love these pretty ornaments. I am working on a cross stitch for a wedding gift for my nephew who is getting married on March 28! Gotta get busy!
ReplyDeleteI have a book of cross-stitch ornaments that I've always wanted to work through one year. This reminded me! Very sweet ornaments, Mrs. T!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies!
ReplyDeleteArlene, I hope you will be able to post a photo (or scan) of your finished sampler. I'm sure it is beautiful as you do lovely work.
Susan, are you going to try and make some of the cross-stitch ornaments from your book this year? I will be interested to see them!
