Almost Didn't Make It

Yea!  I just barely made the deadline.  I had a tad bit of difficulty with my stitching choice, but after I found fabric that would work the rest was easy.  I didn't do anything special with my ornament.  I guess you could say I am kind of hum-drum.  But I am pleased with it overall.  I see where Lainey stitched the same design and I love the colors that she chose.  Her finish is so bright and fun.  After seeing everyone else's finishes for the month, I think I need to step up my game some. 

I have already chosen what I will be stitching for February.  I will pull the pattern out tomorrow and post the pictures.  I have enjoyed the first month of the SAL and I am looking forward to next month.

Jan's January Finish

I just finished stitching my January ornament. I decided to leave the flower on the side off as I didn't want the ornament to be too big. I stitched it over 2 on 28 count linen that I coffee/tea dyed using the called for DMC threads.

Sorry that the picture isn't better.

I am going to stitch Halloween Night by SanMan Originals and use a tuck that I won on the SanMan Merrymen Board.  I will be using DMC threads.
