Sort of a finish

 I can't exactly say this is a finish per se but at least the cross stitching part of it is finished....



This will ultimately be finished into a circular Christmas ornament but there are still two more in the series to make before I assemble them.  You can see three more of the ornies in THIS post.

And, in case you were wondering...remember that sweet doll pattern I pointed you to in my last post?  Well, I succumbed....

- THIS is shown as a Christmas quilt but there's no reason it couldn't be done in any colour you wanted.  I think it would look good scrappy too.

- Have a peek at the fun garments found HERE.  I love them but would never possess enough nerve to actually wear them.

- Have a scroll through the amazing wooden sculptures found HERE. AND have a scroll through THESE as well!

- And while you're looking at amazing works of art, how about the gallery of THIS one!

- AND just because this is a full-service (totally off-the-wall) blog, check THIS out.

    1. Yes, the teddy bears are really cute too and I might end up succumbing to buying that pattern too. So much temptation, so little time!

    1. I must admit I'm dreading doing the actual putting together and actual finishing of these ornaments and that's why I'm procrastinating until I have them all stitched before I tackle it.

  3. I love things like ways to use toothpaste! Definitely going to see if it will work on my sneakers. About removing white marks on furniture -- back when people smoked, cigarette ash was the material of choice. Now it's not so available.

    1. Well, I can't let it be said that this blog isn't filled with lots of information - useful or not!

    Wow! Countas garments are stunning. I'de wear her designs in a heartbeat. Where is the problem as I rarely go anywhere to wear such fashions.

    1. I don't go anywhere for those types of fashions either and being 5'10" tall means I'd look even larger if I were to try.

    1. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished ornament(s) too, but must admit I'm dreading the actually finishing step.

    1. Well, I would have to sort of disagree at the cuteness factor because I think Nutcrackers are creepy. Luckily not everybody feels the same!
