November and December Ornies

Hi All. I completed November and December ornies as this time of year is becoming busy for me, so I wanted to finish up my ornies for this year before it ends! :) Everyone is doing such wonderful stitching. I can hardly wait until next year!! Happy Winter everyone!! Anne

October ornie

Quick quick,,, had the time so I did October's ornie for the SAL already! It is one of the snowmen from 74 snowmen pattern by Mary Ellen Yanich from Patternsonline.

September Ornie - Caught Up!

Hi all! I did this cute little bear today from a needlemagic kit designed by Wanda Zellers. It is my September ornie so I am finally caught up. And of course, it is great to have one more ornie to give to a friend this year! :)

August Ornie

Here's my ornie for August. I'm catching up soon I hope! :) This is the fourth time I did this cat. Lots of my friends like it. The dollar store had a bunch of frames in a bag for a dollar. yippee!

Ornies by Anne S

Now I have my primary blog on Wordpress, I keep forgetting to come over to the Blogger dashboard and upload piccies to the Blogger blogs ... I'm not updating with the latest ornies I've stitched since my last update in January - I have stitched an ornie every month, just keep forgetting to post! All these ornies are from the 2007 JCS Christmas ornament issue.

February ornie - "Joy" by Lizzie*Kate


March ornie - "Poinsettia" by Brittercup Designs


April ornie - "Checking it Twice" by Dragon Dreams


May ornie - "Spool Ornament" by Sue Hillis

Anne S's January ornament

It's been a while since I've contributed to the blog due to not having my stash around me - but I can finally add a stitched ornie to the SAL ... in the middle of moving house I can't access my finishing materials yet, but at least the stitching's done! This is Fill With Love by Designs by Cathy Jean (2007 JCS ornie magazine).

I made up for missing March too by having an entire day yesterday devoted to ornie stitching. Here are the results:

using all the recommended threads

Anne's January ornies

I finally put the last stitches into my Christmas ornie for this month's SAL - I'm sorry to say for my recipient's sake the bullion stitches aren't exactly fantastic, but hopefully she won't look too closely! ;) I just have to find something to place in the 'blank heart' as I don't have the button called for, then it's ready to be officially 'finished' and sent off on it's way ... (I've removed the recipient's initials for secrecy's sake)

Christmas 2000 Sampler by Douglas Designs

from the 2000 JCS Christmas Ornie issue

using recommended threads, on a mystery 28ct linen

I also finally put the finishing touches into an ornie that Mum stitched for me - she just had the french knots left to do, and very kindly left me to do them, as she knows just how much I adore doing french knots! ;) It's supposed to have JABC star buttons, but I don't have any left, and I think it looks just fine without it. Thanks Mum, it looks just lovely! :D
