Merry Christmas Ornaments

Ok, so this is early, but I celebrated early this year.  I finished this ornament for my DS.  I may have to take it back as it turned out much nicer than my photo shows.

This is a photo of Merrily, Merrily by Barbara Jackson.  It is a Shining Needle Society class.  The basting was terrible as it is 40 count linen.  But I finally got it done and put in some cross stitches.  Of course, I can't follow directions and I used two strands of floss.  It is staying in although I will do the rest with just one thread.  It will be one of my "new projects" for 2013.
I do plan on joining the crazies at Crazy January Challenge with a few modifications.  No 15 new projects!  I would go crazy if I did that.  I plan on doing WIPs next year.  Will post them as I decide.

Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year.

Snowflake needs Beads

This little Mill Hill ornament just needs beads.  I wonder how many Crazy January Challenge pieces I have left?  This is one and it needs to be done soon so I can hang it on my tree.  I am fighting the urge to frame up a new piece.  I have all those pieces started in my basement and things that need to get done, yet I want to do something 'different.'

January 9 and 10-Crazy January Challenge

 Yesterday I started Snowflake, a Mill Hill bead kit.  I thought I would have lots of time to stitch, but I was helping my dd in an all day sew-a-thon at our local library.

Today's start was this Paisley Coin Purse by Stitch and Zip.  I had planned on starting Spring Splendor today, but I ran too many errands and am expecting the plumber at any minute.  That design will require peace and quiet to start.  Tomorrow, maybe?
