Have some FFo ornaments to show

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.

Small's SAL - February edition

Hi y'all,

I am sorry I am late to the party but I finished my small last night.  Thank you to Heather at The Stitching Lotus for hosting this SAL. Here is where you will find her blog and all the info to this SAL.

My finish for this month's SAL is the 2009 Souvenir de Paris freebie by Blackbird Designs.  You can find it here.  I altered the pattern by not including the phrase at the bottom and by changing the date to this year.  The cream floss I used is a little hard to see but once I ffo it I hope that is will stand out more. The fabric is 28 ct opalescent Lugana that I fabric painted pink.

Here is my ffo from my finish earlier this month.  I made the mistake of thinking I can do a circle and it looked awful.  I had to make some alterations but I think it is still cute, mistakes and all.

Thanks for looking and have a great Sunday.
Mary
