The End of the Ornament Stroll....I Think.....(396-399)

I think I'm winding own on the ornament Stroll, but things keep popping up or I remember one I did one for a friend or relative and hadn't taken a picture. 

Here is the first ornament I stitched for Asher.....note it says "Gram". That was what we had decided to call me when he was born, as that was what I had called my grandmothers. But somewhere along the line Asher pointed to me and called me "Mimi", so that is what stuck! Stitched in 2008, I added the JABCO buttons.

 This one was for Asher's 2nd Christmas in 2009.

This was a gift to my grand niece in 2008, on her first Christmas.

 Now, a current finish....Sally, from Salty Yarns, had stitched five designs from this series on black perforated paper and added to a wreath....you can see it here; Chalkboard Ornament Wreath . I fell in love with them and decided to stitch them for the four grandkids this year, thinking it would be an ez-pz finish. But then I saw another finish on FB (RJ, I thought it was yours but now I can't find it) and am going to go in a different direction!!! The one I did complete, and am giving to my neighbor, is Sugar Plums from the Chalkboard Ornament series by Hands on Designs. I did it on 14 count black perforated paper and attached to felt; the felt leaves and red button came with the chart. 


 And last, but definitely not least, is an ornament gifted to me from my blog friend, Robin. I love reindeer motifs and this one is "double" the fun! Thanks so much, Robin, for thinking of me; it is hanging up front on my tree!


Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

  3. Since I found your blog only late this year, I need to go back and look at all of your beautiful ornaments, Stasi! I love the idea of doing the chalkboard piece on black perforated paper--that would be a nice quick gift for someone :)

    Oh, I just realized we have a mutual friend in Robin! She is such a sweet person!

    Wishing you a lovely Christmas, Stasi! What fun it will be with your grandchildren :)
