I saw on the USEBB board that Chris received her ornament that I stitched for her. I wasn't totally thrilled with the outcome, I thought it was rather larger than what I wanted it to be, but what are you gonna do?! Here it is:
Designer: Little House Needleworks ~ Diane Wililams
Taken from: Just Cross Stitch Ornaments 2007 Special Ornament Issue
Fibers: DMC as called for
Fabric: 28 ct. Smoky Blue Opalescent Silkweaver
Finished as Pinkeep Hanging Ornament
I finished a new tutorial the other day...it's in my sidebar under "The Twisted Stitcher Tutorials". It's on how to finish an "Altoid Tin" like I do it.
Alrighty then....well I have to work tomorrow, so this is short....more hours to be with my family and stitch a little before hitting the sack :)
Have a great weekend!
I think your exchange looks perfectly lovely Vonna :)) Have a great weekend even though you have to be working ;-)

ReplyDeleteI think this is a beautiful pinkeep! The fabric looks like snow glistening.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty ornament Vonna, I really love that chart--I think I'm going to have to stitch one for next year :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Vonna! I'm currently working on this one - I knew I had to stitch it when I first saw it, for 2 reasons - one, it's by Little House Needleworks, and two, because she designed it with Indiana winters in mind. :)
ReplyDeleteYou little ornament came out so cute !! As always, your stitching is just beautiful!! I love Little House projects as you well know! I may have to make that ornament too as it is one of my favorites this year! Debby :)
ReplyDeleteI think your ornament is beautiful. I'm going to check out the new tutorial. I'm loving the picture of the kids with their stsockings. Michelle
ReplyDeleteVonna, I think the ornament looks gorgeous. I am sure Chris loves it. I am excited thanks for the new tutorial. Also, I love the picture of your kids with the stockings on your sidebar-too cute and creative too! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis ornament turned out cute, Vonna! Who wouldn't be thrilled to get this :)
ReplyDeleteGreat ornament, one of the many design from the JCS magazine I haven't done yet. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe tin tutorial is great, thanks for sharing. I suppose you will have plenty of tins to cover yet.
Pretty ornament Vonna! Will have to check out your new tutorial. Your tutorials are great by the way...im always refering people to your flatfold one!

That picture in your sidebar of the kids and the stockings is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI also like your exchange project - bigger's not a bad thing! And I'm going to have to check out your Altoid tutorial. I'm still steamed that my tin finish wasn't perfect, and I am determined to do it right next time!

Hello Vonna,
ReplyDeleteYour ornament looks great. You're just being your own harshest critic like most of us are guilty of. I hope your weekend at work goes well. Happy Stitching.
Great exchange! I love the colors

The ornament is very pretty. Is it sitting in the Christmas Cactus??? VERY NICE!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the tin tutorial with us that is so helpful. now I want to make one.
I like the part that says Empty the tin...yeah in my mouth lol. I love the wintergreen!
What a lovely pinkeep! I especially like the colour of the ribbons on the top. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I love it! Thank you so much for doing a tin tutorial, I want to try one so badly.
ReplyDeleteoh, now that is just adorable!!
ReplyDeleteVonna, it's absolutely sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you finished this design very much!
I'm also wanting to stitch this design, but now have been working on Christmas stuffs, so after Christmas I will do it for myself, I think. But the problem is I don't have the suitable colour fabric like you stitched, so I would stitch on different colour fab. I'm a bit curious how will it turn out!
By the way, have a nice week!
No matter what its still lovely and thank you for the new tutorial!
ReplyDeleteYour ornament looks beautiful on the opalescent fabric! And thank you so much for the tutorial! You make it look so easy!
