I’m still not stitching a whole lot, and haven’t felt motivated to pull out any of my larger projects, but I was feeling bad about getting behind on my 2009 Ornament Project, so I’ve stitched these over the last two weekends:
Stitched in June, but will be called the May ornament:
Brittercup’s Poinsettia from JCS 2007 Christmas Ornaments
Just Nan A Little Joy From JCS 2002 Ornaments
I have to say, the Just Nan is my favorite of the 2009 ornaments so far. It’s pretty sparkly IRL and I love the checked fabric. 
Each of these were stitched over a weekend and I think will be easy to finish – whenever I get around to it. I’ll have an Ornament Finishing Extravaganza on the next rainy weekend. 
Woo hoo! I love the Just Nan ornament – it was nice to see it in person – I can’t believe how quickly you finished up the lttle over one section.
Great finishes!
I haven’t been motivated to pull out my big projects either…must be the time of year
They’re both lovely, congratulations
I love the Joy ornament too! I mean to get to that one every year and somehow I don’t – I think it is that I don’t have the frame or the checked fabric in my stash, so I always go for something I can do NOW. It is gorgeous though and might be worth actually hunting down the supplies.
Both ornies are really pretty! You do such great work!
That Just Nan ornie is probably my favourite ornie of all-time – photos don’t do it justice … in real life they’re even prettier!
