How crazy is it to be talking about Christms in July with the heat being over 100 degrees?? Crazy, that's what it is.....The heat, I mean.... As many of us slug through these intensely hot days, I decided to finish a couple of my stitched Christmas ornaments today.... As part of **this** ornament stitch-a-long, here are my June and July installments as we pledged to stitch and finish an ornament a month in 2011.....

Last night, I began stitching a new design by
Tree of Life Samplings that I absolutely cannot put down....Maybe tomorrow I will have enough done to post a photo and share.... Not to be mysterious, but I have fallen in love with this design AND her fantastic hand dyed linen, Macadamia Nut.....Its heavenly.....
So, until next time....Thanks so much for visiting and as always, thanks for all the fantastic comments...Time rarely permits me to reply to all of them, but know they are read and I truly appreciate your words of support and inspiration!!!
~~~Happy stitching and try to stay cool~~~

Faye,
I adore First Day, and you did a wonderful job finishing it up! Wow, I didn't even realize that issue was out yet! Stay cool!
Very Pretty! I love how you finished both of them.

Your stitching and finishing is always so inspiring! Can't wait until you show us what you are currently working on!
I love both your ornaments -- so pretty, and wonderful finishing! I have to check out Jan's linen. I hope I can find it somewhere at some point!
Not so crazy; you actually made me feel a bit cooler - well, maybe only a wee bit, lol. Great finishes!
Love your ornaments, beautiful stitching and finishing!
Hugs,
Tree of Life Samplings hand dyed linens are WONDERFUL!! I think I bought one of every color at the retreat. The colors are unlike any I have seen before. Can't wait to see what you are stitching!
Ok, everytime I read your blog and leave a comment I feel like I'm a broken record! The word "beautiful", just never seems to be enough when talking about your finishing, so I want to say that your finished Ornies are...SPLENDIFEROUS!!! LOL...Can't wait to see progress on your new Tree of Life Samplings piece!
Happy stitching!
Beautiful ornie finishes!! First Day is one of my favorites from the preview :)
Both ornaments look so lovely. Congrats
Love both of the ornies.

Wonderful ornaments, Faye! I can't wait to see your new start, too.

Lovely, lovely ornaments Faye! First day caught my eye as soon as I saw it in the magazine. Hmmm, lemme guess - you wouldn't happen to be stitching Penny America now would you? I love that design and it reminded me of you and your patriotic stitching when I saw it. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Beautiful finishes. Your work is soo neat. Love them both. x
I've failed miserably at this SAL, but glad to see others haven't! They're so pretty. I have my idea of what the mystery will be... it may be in my stash bag from DSL.
Love the ornies Faye! You did a great job finishing them.
I am loving Tree of Life Samplings too!
If the Tree of Life Samplings you are stitching on is her new one Penny America-it is on its way to me now and I can't wait to start it!
I love the Jenny Bean...the colors are great!!!!
I considered starting a Christmas...and decided to go for Halloween instead. LOL

Beautiful finishes Faye!! I love them both!! Can't wait to see you on Saturday!! :)
Beatiful stitching and finishing, your ornaments are gorgeous.
Your ornaments always look so stunning Faye. I hope the weather cools down for you soon!
Both of your ornaments are beautiful! I especially love the Silent Night one. Can't wait to see your new project.
