Happy New Year.
While I still have Christmas joy in my mind and heart I made a start on this year's ornaments for the nieces and nephew.
Last year's Just CrossStitch Christmas Ornament issue provided plenty of inspiration this time and I may even stitch an extra one for my tree which is, I confess, already overloaded.
As these ornaments have to be mailed to their recipients I try to keep them as flat as possible. And because I stitched this over one thread of fabric it came out quite small so the frame style finish made it a better size. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
And I have started ornament number two - a lovely Robin Redbreast.
But today was spent out in the garden as we had a southerly wind which cooled the temperature to a respectable 26 degrees which made it possible to mow the lawn and weed the whole estate. Oh I am sore tonight!

Very nice. I like it on the door. Think it would make a nice decoration hanging from a curtain rod as well in a window.

That's a beautiful ornament, love the beads added. Looking forward to see your next ornament.
Lovely work on your first ornament of the year. That one is one of our choices in the FB group I run.
It's never too early to get started on next Christmas! Great little finish.
