Ornament Victory


I hope each and every one of you had a lovely Christmas, celebrating with all who are near and dear to you. 

As previously mentioned in my last post, I managed to stitch up six quick ornaments by JBW Designs for the ladies in the office at work. Every year they have received an ornament from me as a gift, and I felt I couldn't let them down. 


Last week on my one night off (Wednesday) from my second job I set to ornamentifying the six ornaments I stitched from French Country Ornaments II. I went with something simple due to the fact I had to finish six ornaments in one evening!  I backed the stitching wig green felt, cut with a wavy blade on my rotary cutter, and a fancy ornament hanger. It's amazing how the most basic of finishes can be just perfect. As they say, less is more. Needless to say the girls were over the moon with them!


I had another small finish on Christmas Day, for a fair part of the year I've been working away at Prairie Schooler's Cranberry Christmas Ornaments. I've finally stitched the second to last ornament, and I've started the last tonight. All are being stitched over two on 40ct linen, mellow from Picture This Plus. I'm hoping to have this last one completed before the year is out. 

Until next time.

This is such a horrendous and terrible story, my heart goes out to the family and friends of the victim. As a plus sized individual, I too know the horrible feeling of being bullied, but it only occurred at school, resulting in a terrible Cheap Air Force Ones evening New Yeezy Shoes Coach Outlet Sale and not wanting to return Cheap Jordan Shoes For Men to school, but now kids are subjected to bullying by means of social networks.
