Hi y'all,
How are you doing? I am doing great! The weather has either been rainy, windy or cold so I have had a lot of time to work on cross stitch.
I completely FFO'd Souvenier de Paris by Blackbird Designs. It is from 2009 and is found on her blog.
I know it is hard to see the White Chocolate floss but I am still very happy with how this turned out.
The second thing I just got done FFO'ing is We Three Kings by The Cat's Whiskers Studio in the 2009 JCS Christmas ornament issue. I am participating in the Chrismas Ornie SAL 2018 and for the month of March the theme was We Three Kings.
I used sparkly scrapbook paper I found at Hobby Lobby for the backing. I also used red Swarovski crystals I found at Hobby Lobby on the crown and I used leftover gold Kreinik braid for the crown.
I am very happy how it turned out.
Well, I hope you all have a great couple of weeks and I will check back at the end of the month for Smalls check-in.
Mary
