Well as my blog title says, I had a productive weekend! A fair amount of Saturday was doing two framing jobs. Here they are :
When I wasn't busy framing on Satruday I was working on my Ivy (Holly & Ivy Ornaments) Ornament. I was able to pick up my ornament this morning and finish it in the early afternoon today (Sunday).
The Holly & The Ivy - Ivy Side
c2008 Dragon Dreams
Stitched on : 28ct Mushroom Jazlyn
Stitched with : DMC & Kreinik #4 Braid
When that was finished I saw this lovely ornament on Carol's blog and decided, this was going to be my next start. I even managed to finish it tonight! The "dots" inside the border of the ornament was charted to be a stitch, but I decided to use a bead instead to "jazz" it up a little.
The Red Noel Ornament
Maryse Dupont - Gift of Stitching November 2008
Stitched on : mystery 28ct evenweave
Stitched with : DMC 4210, Mill Hill 03003 Beads
I think I might now have enough ornaemnts for gifts this Christmas... tomorrow I'll make up my list and make sure!
Oh and there are days... I wish I was a cat! Hunter makes it look so easy.

Your ornaments turned out beautiful!
Sweet kitty too. I'm afraid in that picture he doesn't look much like a "hunter".
Great framing jobs. I love the Noel ornie, and the beads are a great addition
Lovely stitching! I like the beads on the Noel one.
My cat's day is like that: Get up, Eat Something, Have a little nap...
Great framing and stitching.
My cat is on the back on the sofa watching over my shoulder, she liked the photo of Hunter ;)
Now I would say that was productive! Furbaby looks soooooo cozy..mine has been sleeping on the heater lately lol
Lovely ornaments ...both are beautiful but I particularly liked the Holly ornament. Thanks for the info about the Holly and Ivy ornaments you posted on my blog ... I regret that I won't be able to stitch them since they are "exclusive" designs ... but it makes me even more determined to make it to the Creative Festival so that I can take classes with TW and JAS ... two of my favorite designers.
Your ornaments are lovely Dani. Where did you get the Dragon Dreams one please?
You made a lovely job on the framing.
Lovely ornaments! I say that you can never go wrong with a few well placed beads! Beautiful!
You have two lovely new ornaments - you can never have enough of them.
Gorgeous ornies Dani, congratulations
Nice work on those ornaments Dani. I love Jennifer's new one.
You did a great job framing those pictures.
Hunter is looking just too relaxed.
Great job on the ornaments. I like your substitution with the beads.

Everything looks wonderful Dani! Great job!!!

Lovely ornaments, its so much nicer to give a handmade gift i think.
Hunter is gorgeous, furry cuddles...
You're an ornament stitching speedster. It amazes me how quickly you get them stitched.
I love these ornaments you have chosen to stitch.
