I was surprised when I decorated my ornament tree for Valentine's Day that I didn't have enough ornaments to fill it.  Guess I need to find some more to stitch.  My plan now is to do a couple of St. Patrick's Day ornaments.  I don't have very many of them.

Victoria Sampler - Belive Blackwork

Another 2016 Christmas ornament stitched.  That makes 4 so I only have 2 more that I feel I have to make.  The only thing left to do on this one is to sew on a Santa charm which I can't find.  I e-mailed Victoria Sampler the other day to ask them where I can get one but no response as of this morning.


Designer:  The Victoria Sampler
Project:  Believe Blackwork
Fabric:  28Ct White Jobelan
Floss:  DMC and some metallic I had in my stash
Started:  I didn't write the start date down
Finished: 01/30/2016
For: My Great Niece Kayla and her family for Christmas
2016


 
I did make a couple of changes to this.  The 2 rows of red cross stitches (yes they are red not pink) were suppose to be white.  I didn't think the white showed up well enough.  I hated  stitching this but then I dislike backstitching.  If anyone knows where I can get a gold look Santa, I would be extremely grateful.

Now on to stitching a Valentine ornament and continuing on Ireland by Sue Hillis.  I did start Ireland the other night but haven't made much progress.

I got an e-mail from Victoria Sampler this afternoon and they are going to sent me the Santa charm I need for this.  I am so happy.
