A finished ornament
At long last, I have finished my cardinal cross-stitch ornament. Excuse the shadow at the ornament's lower right. I took five pictures and every one of them had a shadow. This was the best of the five.
This is actually just a little larger than I like in a tree ornament, so it may end up hanging elsewhere, like on a kitchen cabinet or baker's rack. I'm not really thrilled with how my finish came out, but am happy to declare it finished! One UFO off the list!

I think it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jan!
DeleteIt’s darling!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vee! Even though it took me a long time, I enjoyed working on it.
DeleteThat is stunning. I'm very partial to cardinals right now as they are the state bird of Virginia. Did you use a kit? If so, could you add a link? Thank you and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThe title of the kit is Hope Ornament and it is Dimensions kit 70-08857. As I had emailed you, it seems to be a discontinued item ... I did find it on K-Mart's site, but not sure it's available there any more as they seem to be going out of business. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if you could find the kit on eBay or Etsy.
DeleteHappy New Year to you as well!
Beautiful handiwork
