Mother Nature really pulled a not-so-nice one on us this past week. The week started out really nice. Sunny with temps in the 50's. I even saw some people riding bicycles to work. The next day, rainy and cold with temps in the mid 30's. On Friday night, my area received 3" of snow. So, guess what I spent my Saturday morning doing??? Today, I woke up to a temp of 7F. Brrrr!

I was so feeling the "spring" mood, and our weather left it all behind and it's colder again. Sorry about the snow. Your floss tag is adorable!
Looks great.. Sorry for the cold weather
both are very cute.. I have never made a floss tag.. I am wanting to learn how to do those grommets on my pieces..
Both finishes look great!
I like both of your finishes.

I know exactly what you mean with the weather. Ours was the EXACT thing! Nice finishes....not sure about the blue on the reindeer unless there is something in it that has blue too? Other than that, I like it! Even though someone at work has a crop-a-dile, I might break down and get one with a 50% off coupon. I can see finishing ornament hangers with it! Hey, I'm not a week late responding!
We got the same weather system. But, then again, it's not Valentine's Day without snow, LOL.
The finishes are lovely
Love the floss tag ring. I am sorry about the snow. It helps me to keep our 40 degree weather in prospective though. Just as I am griping about it I read your 7 degrees!
i love your floss tag got direction for that?
hugs, Patty
They are both wonderful!
Cute finishes, Meari!!
Nice floss tag. I just made my first one too.
Great job! I love them both. That floss tag is soooo sweet. Congratulations, Meari on 2 great finishes.
Two super finishes and I love your Christmas ornie collection.
You have some wonderful finishes! So glad you keep up on your blog. I wish you could rub off on me...LOL!!!

Congrats on your finishes. Love the floss tag.

I love the ladybug floss tag!! I like the pattern for the reindeer too.. I could see him stitched on moss green fabric with tiny twigs attatched at the bottom...
Love your floss tag and I like the way your ornament turned out. You may be too hard on yourself, lol!! I think we all are...
I just love both of your finishes! Great job stitching and with finishing!
Both are wonderful finishes! Sorry about the weather changes....I hate weather like that because I usually get sick!
