Last weekend the need to start something new got the better of me, and I started(and finished, I must add) these two little Christmas ornament designs. They were so quick and easy, and a pleasant change from some of the bigger projects I have on the go at the moment.
Joy, Love, Peace(Left) & Tiny Motif Tree (Right)

This weekend I have been working on this WIP which I started a few years ago. It is for one of my nephews, and was intended to be for his first birthday. I am almost too ashamed to admit that he will be four this year, and now has a baby sister also. However, I do intend to have it finished for his birthday in September this year.
This is what I acheived yesterday, finished the number eight, and began number nine. Not sure what possesed me at the time, but this is my first ever 'over one' project, and I don't know if I will attempt it again any time soon. It does give a lovely finish, but I find I have to stitch a lot slower than normal. I still need to stitch one more soldier, and there is a little bird on top of the number four.
Thanks for stopping by, until next time, take care and have a wonderful stitchy weekend.

This is a really cute project! I have those Christmas tree patterns as well. I finished Quaker Sampler 2 and Blackbird's Remember Me,last week. Now I am stitching Easter motifs for cards if I finish on time. Happy Stitching!!! Jan
Love your tree patterns. And that's an adorable sampler. Over-one is something I do sparingly, but I love the look.
