Ho Ho Ho and a Sampling of Easter

Happy Monday Friends:

I have two fun cross stitching finishes to show today. I am finally focusing on my long WIP/UFO list of stitching projects. They are listed on a separate page on my blog at the top if you want to peek.  

First one up is a sweet Santa ornament that I started back in 2010? or 2011? for a SAL. I never finished it then and I've just been working on it off and on as I felt inspired. I picked it up again a few weeks ago and realized I was right at the end with a little back stitching to do. That was enough motivation to get him finished. I love the little pom pom on his hat. I can't wait to put him on my Christmas tree this year. The background fabric is what I used on the back.

Stitched on 28 Ct Ivory Monoco using DMC Threads

Finished as a flat ornament using the awesome tutorial by Vonna - The Twisted Stitcher

My second is a 95% finish. I say that because the stitching is done, but the project is not yet finished off. I need to get some items from the store first.

The fabric in the background is a glimpse of the backing fabric that I plan on using for this one. I'll post another pic when it is finished.

I would love to gift the chart for this one to somebody who would like to stitch it. If you are interested in the chart, let me know. It did include the little gold Bunny charm, but as you can see, I used it on mine. I'm sure a perfect substitute charm could be found.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting. I hope you have a lovely week.
