Christmas in August.....

 

The mood to stitch Christmas struck me

this week and I thought ornaments would

be the perfect quick fix.  Lizzie Kate is

always a fun and quick stitch and

these little cuties were just that.

 

LK "Flora McSample 2012 Ornaments"

stitched on 32ct LL Toasted Almond

w/Victorian Motto threads

 

I decided on a simple finish for these ornaments

which didn't require my sewing machine.

Once I got in the "finishing" frame of mind

I decided to finish two other Christmas

finishes that have been hanging

out for a few months.

 

I stitched this in December while

vacationing in Arizona.  I usually take

a LK design on vacation since they are

easy to pick up and put down while

traveling. I also love that I can look at

these designs and it brings back

great memories of our trips.

 

LK "Be Naughty"

stitched on 14ct mocha Aida with DMC

 

One of the things I love about LK

is the simplicity of her designs and

I really like stitching them on a

simpler fabric like 14ct using

DMC.  This is definitely one of my

favorites and I can't wait to quietly

display it in a side chair this

holiday season.

 

Since I had the sewing machine out I

finished this into a cute little ornament.

 

CHS "1999 Christmas Sampling"

stitched on Black 28ct evenweave over one

 

I wasn't too fond of the over one stitching

on black but I just love this ornament.

Well...I am off to find some more

ornaments to stitch! All of WIPs are

pretty large right now so the quick

gratification from an ornament

finish is feeling good!

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stitching...
