I was on the ball and early with my December ornament for the Christmas Ornament SAL on the Stitch & Stash board, this is the only SAL I have managed to stick to throughout the year…so my tree will have lots of lovely stitched ornaments on it this weekend when I put it up.
It is Bent Creek’s “Joyous Noel” which is stitched on 32c Murano in Ivory with the recommended DMC threads, it’s backed with the fabric shown and made into a hanging ornament.
Not a lot going on here, I received my first LHN Ornament chart from DSL so have just kitted and started stitching that, I am not using the DMC recommended threads, I have decided to use SSS instead for a change and a different look.
I have also made a start on BBD “Your Song” my aim is to complete it by 31st December….can you see them pigs flying…lol!!
I am waiting on an order of cotton yarn to knit up some washcloths after being inspired by Staci, I am a bad knitter but I thought this would be good practice and I will just be able to pick it up and do a couple of rows when I have a spare 5 minutes. I ordered the yarn last Monday and it was posted out last Wednesday…but still has not arrived, the sender cannot report it missing for another week, so I just have to wait….”sigh”…so annoying really as my fingers are itching to get them needles clacking!!
Have a good day all…
Hugs & Stitches

Another lovely ornament Elisa. I'll ask my pigs to say hi to yours as they fly past (mine are trying to get J'arrive finished for Christmas)
Lovely ornie and beautifully stitched as usual Elisa, how annoying about the cotton yarn I'd be raring to go too, I looked up the site and what fantastic colours.

Lovely ornie Elisa. Yes I was inspired by Staci's dishcloths as well and found a supplier for Peaches n creme yarn but not got round to ordering it yet. Who did you get it from and what yarn did you get?? Maybe we could do a dishcloth sal lol!!
