As promised, I saved some of my stitchy Christmas present so I'd have something to show for Rachel's Fully Finished Gallery SAL this month and have at least one successful checkin this year! One I'm still waiting on a picture on (I stupidly gifted it away before taking a good picture, but the recipient promised to take one for me), but for today I got four stitched ornaments to share with you.
The first one is Toys and Tots, it's a Joan Elliott design I got via some charity group on facebook years ago and intended to stitch since then. As it turns out the charted colours were very different from the preview, so I basically changed out all of them, and really liked the result! I did a simple finish using some cardboard and putting fabric on the back, then glueing some pretty ribbon along the edges:
Second was Golden Star, a freebie design by my friend Magical525, that I stitched up using my sparkliest metallic, and mounted to the top of a small jewelry box I kept for just a purpose as this:
I also stitched up too very small freebies by Sharon Christie, the Gingerbread Girl (which has a little message on the back for my niece's first Christmas) and Polar Bear Wreath. Both have been finished on cardboard with coloured cardboard in the back:

The Golden Star is beautiful. Maybe it's the camera, but the fabric almost looks like fancy textured paper on the box.
Lovely finishes, I especially like your box. I hope you have more FFO posts in 2025
Great finishes! Nice way to start out the new year.
All are so cute, Leonore! I especially like that pair of freebies on the polka-dot fabric. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead! ♥
I've forgotten to take a photo many times before too!
They are all great finishes, I especially love the polar bear! I think the last two are by Shannon Christie?
Lovely finishes! I really like that jewelry box topper, might have to steal that idea.
Fantastic fully finishing here! Lovely sparkly box lid.
