Hi there cloud friends! I have really enjoyed reading all your blogs and seeing how you are preparing for the coming holidays. We have all the decorating finished thanks to my DH. I have done quite a bit but when I poop out due to a very tired back, he takes over. I have started PT. So far, they are just trying to get my stamina built back up. I am not allowed to do any real bending or twisting until I see the surgeon in Jan. Hopefully at that time, the bones will be where he wants them and I will be able to go on with more strenuous PT. This whole thing is just taking patience which I am not very good at demonstrating. At least I can stitch as long as I take a walking break every hour. So I finished little Miss Hannah's Christmas ornament. As you know, I don't love finishing so it did take a few days to get it finished. I used the flat ornament directions from "The Twisted Stitcher". Vonna gives wonderful directions. Thanks Vonna!!
This is "Peppermint Twist!" by Little House Needleworks. We are having a very dark rainy day so sorry for the dark photo!
Here is the cutie herself! Miss Hannah!
This was last year's ornament. I have forgotten the title but it was also a Little House Needleworks design.
I am also stitching The Promised Lamb from Plum Street Samplers. I am really enjoying that project. I will show my progress on the next post. Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the season!
She is adorable!! Love the new ornament -and the old one.
ReplyDeleteAww, your granddaughter is precious. So is the ornament!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable is your granddaughter and the ornaments are beautiful also. Try not to over do and let your back heal.
ReplyDeleteLittle Miss Hannah is certainly a cute little girl, and her ornaments from this year and last year are perfectly lovely!!
ReplyDeleteHope your back is doing better.

ReplyDeleteYou keep stitching those ornaments for your Grand-daughter...that is one thing I am so glad that I started when each of my children were born, now our tree tells the story of our lives. And when they get married I will put all their ornaments stitched each year by me into a big box and gift them at their wedding shower. :)
ReplyDeleteBarb, I'd say that is a first-rate finishing job! It turned out great!! Can't believe how big Hannah is getting--what a cutie :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are not overdoing it with your back--so nice that your DH is helping you at this busy time of year!
Both the ornaments are looking beautiful!! Hannah is very cute:)
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely little ornaments.
