A Christmas Exchange!

I did a personal Christmas exchange again this year with Hannah. She also recently welcomed a baby into her household and I sent a little ornament for him as well. I made both ornaments to fit Hannah's woodland theme.


For Hannah
from the Joyeux Noel stocking
JBW Designs Stockings Full of Joy
DMC used:
471
522
3363
838
816
814
Beads: Mill Hill 62012
Stitched on 28 ct Platinum linen
WDW wool used for backing




For Baby
Bent Creek Hare Lines freebie (cannot find link for chart)
Threads Used:
Brown - Wisper W74 Cocoa
White - Alpaca 18 AL51 Ivory
Border - Carrie's Creation Peppermint
Stitched on a scrap of white linen in my stash


I'm trying to finish up a few Christmas ornaments for my family before Christmas. Why does it always take longer than I think it will?

I have also been busy trying to pick out threads for my new RR. I think I finally have it narrowed down, but not 100% yet.

Thank you all for your lovely comments that you leave. It always makes me smile. :-)

Cheryl asked if I would be framing my RR piece I showed in the last post. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what I am going to do with it. I probably will end up framing it, but am still debating between that and a really nice pillow right now.

Stay warm & happy stitching!

Lovely ornaments! Every year i have such great intentions of stitching ornies for my family and it never happens LOL

Wendy said...

Oooh what a nice ornament! I have never made one, but I have some in my stitch. I have no idea how to finish this so nicely :)

I love both ornaments but I think my favorite one is the rabbit for the baby. Great that you used the Wisper for the rabbit.I've seen this pattern used for floss tags scissor fobs, and needle books, but I would have never thought of using it as an ornament. I love the idea of using it as one and really like the way you finished it!
