Finishative - Finding the initiative to do a little finishing.
Ornamentification - Turning stitching into an ornament
The finishative bug hit me this summer... actually I kept looking at my pile of ornaments and more that need to be "turned into something" and kept feeling guilty at all of those lovely finished-unfinished projects sitting there.... staring me.
I'm of course going to mean, and slowly share them with you... don't want to give you a finishative OD!
So since July I've been slowly pulling pieces out of the pile one at a time and finishing them in stages. I started with the Prarie Schooler set I stitched earlier this year, Christmas Favorites. Here's all nine of them together.
I ornamentified these as little pillows stuffed with batting, and trimmed them with cord I made myself, matching the cord with the DMC 3371 that was in every ornament of this set. It tied them all together nicely.










Those are just adorable. Your tree is going to look amazing this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Dani! The PS ornaments look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Dani - now can you please send some "finishative" my way or I might just have to post you my pile of unfinished ornies, lol!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic finishes Dani. I love the way you did them. I'm gonna send you all mine to finish. :D
