I realized with some cringing yesterday, that it's been quite awhile since my last blog post. I had a number of finishes that I could easily have shown, but life has been quite hectic. So far this Christmas Season, I've had 3 finishes! Which is pretty awesome for me, last year I think I only had one. This little ornament is the last Christmas stitch for me this year and didn't it turn out so cute! The chart is by Hands on Design and is called Christmas Eve. I used
http://priscillas2000.blogspot.com thread conversion for the church and mixed some of the called for with DMC out of my stash for the rest.
Once my stitching was finished, I mounted it onto several pieces of mat board that I covered in batting or fabric. I made some cording to go around the stitched piece as well as for the hanger. Then I cut a piece of greenery for the top and added a rusty bell. It's my second ornament of the year!
