Another Finish and WIP Update

First up is my third finish of 2018.  This time I stitched up an inexpensive Stitch-N-Hang kit called "Santa's Sleigh" (#3609).  


I made the FFO into a round ornament with Ho-Ho-Ho ruched ribbon and a handmade bow with a snowflake button.  The photo doesn't do it justice, but I added some Kreinik on the stars for a bit a sparkle.

Design: Santa's Sleigh
Designer:  Needlemagic Inc, Kit 3609
Fabric: 28ct White Evenweave
Fibers: Cotton Floss, Kreinik Blending Filament
Embellishments: Ruched Ribbon, Snowflake Button, Handmade Bow

I've put in over eight hours on Swallows since the last time I showed the WIP I'm finishing up for a stitching buddy.  This is what it looked like back in January:

Here's what it looks like now:
The entire right side is finished.  I'll be starting on the left side when I pick it up again.

 Until Next Time...

    Nice finish on your santa ornament. Those swallows are coming on nicely too. How is your Japanese Garden coming on - haven't seen that in a while!

    The birds are very pretty. So elegant.

    Love that cute Santa, Meari--much better as a round ornament, too! ANd that Swallow piece is so, so lovely--I'll bet those long strands of flowers are not the easiest to stitch. What do the characters say in the bottom right?

    Hope you enjoy your weekend--more DIY projects?

    I love the ornament you made with your Santa cross-stitch. It turned out really pretty. And that swallow piece is going to be beautiful.

    Thanks so much for linking up to this month's Stitchery Link Party. Aloha hugs!
