The Ornament I Received and Other Things

Well as mentioned at the end of my last post here is a picture of the ornament that my partner sent me....the stitching and finishing is beautiful :)
I really want to learn how to finish off ornaments more beautifully rather than the slap dash methods I  tend to use due to running out of time.

The end of November MOTH and I had been together for 22 years and after dropping a hint the night before I got home from work and found these waiting for me.....
They were amazing!!
I was talking to my mum the next day on the phone and the conversation went something like this.....
Me " I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday"
Mum " Oh what was it ? "
Me " A large bunch of flowers"
Mum " Who were they from??"

WHAT THE LOL. So my response was "from the butcher" then she clicked and said "what did "N" do? "  LOL

Oh and finally here is a photo of the extent of my Christmas decorating so far....

I think I am going for the minimalist look this year LOL

  1. The ornie is sweet. Love the colors. I need to learn to finish. I try but I'm really too scared I'll mess up my stitching if I fail.
