2 new ornament finishes.

I have no clue as to why I keep on stitching. But I found this ornament and it was a have to do for myself and my dear stitching friend Toni! They will be finished as pin keeps. The chart is by Nona Matherne. I found it saved on my PC. I can't even remember when I downloaded the chart! The chart can be found at cyberstitchers. Have a great day stitching laurel

In keeping with the November theme, I stitched this tree from Michael Powell. Most of his freebies have been buildings - a lighthouse, churches and cottages - but his most recent was this tree.

New Here

Thank you so much, Jennifer, for allowing me to join. I'm Sally, I'm a SAHM to 2 teenage girls and I live in a small seaside town on the east coast of England. I have joined to stitch at least one Christmas ornament each month starting in 2009. I had planned to do that this year but it just didn't happen so thought joining here would give me the incentive to do it next year:)

I have stitched a few ornaments recently so here's the ones I can show so far.

November Ornament

Glad Tidings

by Belinda Karls-Nace

of Blue Ribbon Designs

Here is my ornament for November. All I have left to do is put a hanger on it. It is from the 2008 JCS Christmas issue.

Newest ornaments

I hadn't stitched many ornaments in a while, but 2 weekends ago, I got the ornament bug. This is what was born from the weekend. The one in the upper left is from Prairie Schooler and the 97or 98 JCS ornie issue. The upper right one is a Cricket Collection freebie from their website, and the one on the bottom is from LK Tiny Tidings from this year. The upper 2 are for exhanges. I think they all turned out really well. Thanks for looking!
