O sighs...be still my heart...Hello RJ and Mary....<br /><br />O sighs...be still my heart...your stitching is just lovely! Honestly I don’t know how you two accomplish so much! You are both incredible...<br /><br />RJ...that Stitching Santa is so adorable! I have not seen him before so you can only imagine how my heart skipped a beat or two or three...grins! He has IMMEDIATELY been added to my already full stitching list but I can’t help it he is just toooo adorable! I love how you finished or ornament and am very curious how you stitch the opening in the back. I also love the Hometown Holiday series from LHN and will be stitching a least one this year. I am thinking about the church. What a great idea to make yours a little French village...I can see it already! Beautiful just beautiful! <br /><br />Mary your North Pole Express is one of my very favorite patterns. I love the little boy on the sled and the Polar Bear pulling him just makes my heart smile! Thank you for sharing this one! January is the perfect month to stitch snowmen and yours is adorable! I feel like we haven’t even had a winter here in California so seeing anything having to do with snow is wonderful! I would also love to stitch Hawk Run Christmas but that is a someday protect...lol!<br /><br />I am trying to finish my TIAG Sampler Grandmother’s House! I WILL finish it this year...grins!<br /><br />Sending hugs and love to you both!<br /><br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573444510509211306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492321594826346563.post-68528049622700452152018-01-26T15:31:47.763-05:002018-01-26T15:31:47.763-05:00Great work on your ornies.

My sewing skills are a work in progress (and I am at the base of that very tall mountain!), but I do recall a tutorial on Vonna’s Blog that looked fairly straightforward. I will give that a try!

I like how you thought outside the box to turn them into buttons. I’ve never seen that Santa with the stitching wish list before....I may just have to find that pattern. It certainly fits me! My mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and asked me to update my Amazon wish list. I told her, “Oh, forget that. All I want is cross stitch stuff!” Lol... Always a good idea to stock up on linen, I think, since I’ve been in that predicament of only having scraps or weird colors/counts in my stash. No worse feeling than thinking you can’t start a project until your fabric arrives in the mail (the woes of not having a local shop). Stay warm and cozy, friends.

I just LOVE your Santa! You did a great job on making it into an ornament and I love the additions to it! The Fleurs storefront looks amazing and I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the Hometown Holiday series! <br /><br />Mary, I hope you are staying warm in the cold you are experiencing. I just love the stars you added to the North Pole ornament and thanks for the ribbon / fray check tip! I have had ribbon challenges in the past. Sometimes our plans are grand, but our time is always limited, and I think we can all understand that! I wouldn’t call you a dropout, you just took a different route and I am sure Hudson will LOVE it! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your great week ladies!

I got all of those charts for my birthday and am planning on doing them on black like I did the tree lot.<br /><br />Love your stars on the North Pole finish, Mary! And the ric rac underneath looks great. I often do that--just like the little bit of it peaking out :) A cute new finish, too!
