Work on Celestial Dragon
Last weekend I took the time to do the finishing on my March ornament. I whip stitched it with beads around the border. Instead of filling it with batting, I went out and bought crushed walnut shells. I have to say they give a nice shape and weight to the item you're finishing. I found them in the bird aisle at a big chain pet store.
Today I picked out my April ornament and decided to get a start on it, and well finish it too!

I've worked on Celestial Dragon a bit tonight as well. If I don't get back here, I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and doesen't indulge too much!
Very nice. Question though. Will the crushed walnut shells have an oil residue that will soak through your needlework?
