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.

Those seeking a more hands on approach can try their luck at posting classifieds and selling their old car directly to its next owner. For Ray Ban Sunglasses Sale people searching for a middle ground, a relatively recent trend has been the establishment of car consignments. These services provide the expertise and resources needed to Coach Handbags Clearance professionally Michael Kors Outlet Online appraise and market your old vehicle, and to sell it to prospective buyers on your help.

Are we watching the same show? Chloe fans of the world rejoice: Sources confirm Alison Mack will be back in episode 13, called "Collateral," airing in January. But trust me: There's some crazy good stuff happening before she returns, too. In oh, say, December.

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. I am glad to hear that law enforcement has held no punches in arresting these girls, and I hope the appropriate punishment is sentenced to make a statement that bullying is a serious case.
