A few things

This little fellow hung out for hours yesterday, I couldn't stop watching him.

I got 2 more Christmas decorations finished, they were harder to finish even though I thought they'd be so easy but honestly, they were boring to do.  Brown perforated paper and white floss.  BORING!

There's nothing like doing the stitching and then having to cut all around it.  Scary!  Could do all that work and with one snip, end up throwing it away because you cut something you shouldn't have!

This idea looked much better in my head!  LOL!

Either this is so lame it's cute or it's just plain ugly, I haven't decided yet.

After my little break from stitching, I'm going right back to it tonight!

Christmas decorations

It's that time of the year!  Time to start thinking ahead to Christmas.

I started working on my decorations and so far, am very happy with them!  Now, I need to figure out how I'm going to display them.  I'm giving some thought to hanging them from vintage knitting needles or vintage rulers or twigs from trees.  I've ordered one of those wooden display trees but really haven't decided how I'm going to do it yet.

Let's look at the ornaments.

This one was done on antique brown perforated paper.  I finished the whole thing and then added the buttons, put another piece of brown perforated paper on the back and added the whipstitch around the outer border to hold the two pieces together.  Then used matching floss for the hangers.

This one is done on brown plastic canvas.  SO simple but SO love it!  Both of these work up so quickly.

I added the hangers but can easily remove them and add something else, depending on how I finally decide to hang them.
