An Ornament, some finishes and a start....

I received my final ornament from the Christmas Ornament Swap from Carolyn. She stitched "A Child is Born" from The Sampler Girl. This is a wonderful ornament. Carolyn did a great job. Thank you so much Carolyn.

I received this Needle minder from Vonna. It was a little appreciation gift from her. It was very kind of her to take the time to send this gift. Thank you Vonna.

Then Cathy B. was stitching with us two Friday's ago and gave me this little tatted ornament. Her mom tatted it. It is very delicate and sweet. Thank you Cathy.

This is a Fair and Square that I received from the Christmas round from Lynda. I finished it into this great little ornament.

Here is a back view.

I stitched and finished these next two ornaments. They are from the same designer--Olga Teague. The pattern is available from Olga. The first is an icicle. I saw this one and thought it was so different.

This one is just a flat ornament to match the icicle. I really like how they turned out.

While I was on a finishing roll I finished this design that I had stitched during our summer retreat. It's Patriotic Summer by Midsummer Night Designs. A little out of season!!!

Then last night during our Friday night stitching, I decided to start this mystery sampler. Jill also started it. We are a very bad influence on each other!!! I have decided to stitch it with
DMC 814 on 40 count cream. I have so many other things I should be working on and then I start something totally new. I hope that I will stay on task with this. Only time will tell:)
