Those are very pretty! :wub: I stitched several ornaments about 25 years ago, and they are my daughter and husband's favorite decorations on the Christmas tree. Looking at these you are doing, make me want to stitch up more for this coming Christmas.

Here's a pic of the ornament I finished years ago. It was my first attempt at finishing, but it seemed to go well.

Wonderful work! I'm in awe @ how quickly everyone can stitch. I must be doing something wrong.*grr* Keep up the good work.
The first finish is lovely!

I don't feel that I necessarily stitch "fast". Some things just stitch up faster than others. As long as you're enjoying your craft, that's all that matters. :)

I decided to skip cleaning today and just work on the Mario Sampler by carladee. It's so much fun to stitch!! I'm only stopping now because I think I want to give it to my DH and we're about to watch some TV. It will be too obvious what I'm stitching even through the back.

Thanks! It's been really fun. No fractionals or backstitching and I left it as 2 over 1 on 14 count to make it seem even more 2D and pixelated. It's an excellent chart; clear, easy to read symbols and it's just great because of the subject. Thank you carladee!!

For Day 12 I did a bit of work on this Hummingbird and Morning Glory that I think will be for my mother or grandmother.

But I wasn't terribly interested in stitching it, so I switched back to my Mario Sampler and got a fair bit done.
