I've made peace with being one of the world's slowest stitchers, but I really need to conquer my non-finishing tendencies. I've been on an Ornament Campaign, and I've finished a fair amount for me, but I haven't finished any of them. Sigh -- story of my life!
St. Ruth's Designs Christmas Cottage from JCS 1998 (I'm pretty certain it was 1998). Done in DMCs on opalascent lugana.
LK "Faith" in DMCs on Wichelt's "Summer Sky" hand-dyed jobelan.
I think this is a LK pattern, but I was going by a picture so I'm not sure. If you can lend any knowledge, I'd be grateful.

JABC's Jingle All the Way
Elizabeth Designs Christmas house form one of the JCSes - might have been last year's even.

Charland's wonky tree from last year's JCS in Belle Soie over-dyed silk on natural linen. And, an "edited" and beaded LK from last year's JCS.
And, drum roll please, the only ornie I've finished so far this year ---
From Gift of Stitching magazine.
As you can probably guess, any finishing catalysts would be greatly appreciated. lol

Love all of them ! especially the finished one. LOL
This is my first year but this is working for me (because I KNOW I'd have the same problem)... I do not start a new ornament until I've finished the last one. AND I do not post a photo until it's finished... all of this keeps me motivated.
and also slows me down... it's why I've only done 4 and here it is July !!!
WOW! you have been so busy!! but I admit, I love the house in the snow! my favorite! Great job!!
