Ornies by Anne S

Now I have my primary blog on Wordpress, I keep forgetting to come over to the Blogger dashboard and upload piccies to the Blogger blogs ... I'm not updating with the latest ornies I've stitched since my last update in January - I have stitched an ornie every month, just keep forgetting to post! All these ornies are from the 2007 JCS Christmas ornament issue.

February ornie - "Joy" by Lizzie*Kate


March ornie - "Poinsettia" by Brittercup Designs


April ornie - "Checking it Twice" by Dragon Dreams


May ornie - "Spool Ornament" by Sue Hillis

new to this blog...

Hi,
I am new to this blog, thanks Jennifer for letting me join;-))
I often visited this blog, I am a christmas lover and I also like it to stitch small christmas things...well, finishing is another thing, I don´t like this part sooo much...
Here you can see two ornies from TPS I stitched for Jodi for our Smalls RR, it was a lot of fun.

A second May ornie

I stitched a second ornie because I had enough left over fabric after stitching the first one this month. This one is "Snowflake Heart" from Wild Heart Designs in JCS 2006 Christmas Ornaments. Once again, mystery cloth and mystery threads as I continue to shrink my stash. To give the design more depth, I used one strand each of two different colours.

This weekend is our Stitch-A-Long Weekend!

Don't forget this weekend is our Stitch-A-Long weekend for the month of May. Here in the US, it's also the unofficial start of summer with the Memorial Day Weekend, and many lucky stitchers will have Monday off as well.

Have a great weekend and a Happy Memorial Day!

May ornie

Here is my May ornie. I think that I may have missed the month of April SAL because I was busier than all get out at the time. This one is called "Emblem of Friendship" and I found it in JCS 2006 Christmas Ornaments.

Trying to catch up......

I finished another Christmas ornament. I am trying to catch up on my ornaments so I can start my Christmas Stockings! I found this free chart by Eterna Silk. I used a DMC green for the leaves and the "Poinsettia" color floss from Sampler Threads. I also used an Aida fabric that had flecks of gold in it. I think this is my Jan ornament. Have a great day stitching Laurel

April Ornament finish

Last night and today I focused on stitching my APRIL Christmas Ornament for the Stitch-a-long. Here is my Angel for April. She is a Told In A Garden free chart from 1986 called "Amish Angel". I did one of these way back in the day for my daughter Bethannie and she still hangs on my tree at Christmas. I need to get caught up on my ornaments! I still have several to do. I am going to take a few days to do finishing later this year. Have a great day stitching. huggerz and prayers wrapped up in sitches. laurel

My April Ornament

Finally here is a picture of my April Ornament. It is Cozy Christmas Wishes by Lizzie Kate. I stitched it on 28 count Permin Natural Lite Linen with GAST Fibers. It is backed with red felt. I have already mailed this off to a friend.

Merry Mooseness

Christmas in July!!!

New Featured Stitchers, New Themes!

I was a little startled when I realized this was the first day of May and I had to update the themes and the featured stitchers on the blog. I've gotten the list of featured stitchers up, so feel free to check out their blogs and stitching albums.

Don't forget - if you have an online stitching album or stitching blog that you'd like to list in our contributors section, please let me know. I'll make sure I get a link up so we can come and check out your work. As usual, I try to keep the list of blogs updated, so if you haven't updated your blog in four or more months, it will be removed from the list. It's not much fun for your fellow stitchers to check out an abandoned or empty blog. And if you switch blogging platforms, be sure to let me know the new address and I'll make the change. All active blogs (and stitching albums) are eligible for the Stitchers of the Month.

The May Themes will be up a little later. It takes me some extra time to set that up, so I'm working on that now.

Pins for pinkeeps...question

Where does everyone get those beautiful huge pins for their pinkeeps? laurel
