I really liked stitching this one.  I think I may stitch it again for us and make it into a cube or maybe something flat to display on a picture stand.  I have many other things I have to stitch before I do this one for us.

I am going to start LHN Molly Pitcher today and another Caroline Manning Christmas ornament.  I then rotate between the two pieces.

My first Christmas ornament for 2018

Designer:  Carolyn Manning
Project:  Bringing Home the Tree
from Just Cross Stitch August 2016
Fabric:  Aged Straw 16CT  Sassy's Fabric
Floss:  DMC
Started:  12/26/2017
Last Stitch:  1/29/2018
For:  Jessi

I have started putting this together.  I have everything cut to size now I just have to sew them together.  I have also trimmed the threads that are the pine needles on the tree and once I put it together and comb them out they should look much better.  I think he is so cute.

Now on to the second ornament.  I am going to try and stitch at least one a month and hopefully more than one.  I am going to start LHN My House today.  It will be for Kayla.  She isn't into the cutesy so I won't do a Carolyn for her.  I am also stitching LHN Patrick Henry.  I had started it a couple of weeks ago and had the roof all done and working on the door when I realized I had made a mistake.  To much to frog so I just cut the roof off the material and started over from the bottom this time.  So far so good.

I see the Groundhog has seen his shadow so we have 6 more weeks of winter.  I think we would have 6 more weeks of weather regardless of Phil seeing his shadow.  Makes me want to watch the movie Groundhog Day again.

Well off to get my day and Bob's day started.  Grocery shopping today.  UGH!!!!

Till next time enjoy each day and stay healthy.
