This month was a bit of a mad finish dash - not just to get something up for the SAL, but also to get my ornaments done by Christmas! I just finished the last one yesterday.
One is Caroling Cardinals that I've already shown you yesterday. It's a Blue Ribbon Design pattern from the 2018 ornament issue of JustCrossStitch. It was my first try on 40ct linen (something I had on the bucket list for 2021) and I'm glad I tried it, as it was really fun! I used the instructions in the magazine to finish-finish it as a flat ornament, but the bottom turned out a little wonky. So I placed the bow off to the side to balance it off, and I think now it looks almost like it was on purpose!
Number 2 was Teresa Wentzler's Beginner Whitework ornament. I had a TON of fun stitching this one, and finished it as a small pillow ornament, using some premade cording for the hanger:
So here we go, my (probably) last finish-finishes of the year! See you in 2022 (with the finishes, I have more things to post until then ;) ).

Nice work on both ornaments. I love Blue Ribbon Designs and have plans to stitch them all! The Whitework on pink fabric is so pretty too, it really shows off the stitches.
Leonore: Beautiful tree, the ornament is lovely.
Merry Christmas

I am relieved and happy that you are doing well.
The fine stitched ornaments are cute.😆
Have a nice Christmas.🎄
Love how your BRD ornament turned out, Leonore! There are so many cute ones that she has designed through the years and I have yet to stitch one of her Christmas ones--maybe next year. So glad you enjoyed the 40 ct. linen, too--it's my favorite as everything turns out so small. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! ♥
Leonore: Both ornaments are lovely.
