I wanted to share a few recent ornament finishes to help get, and keep, you in the holiday mood~ your beautiful cross stitched pieces have come to life so nicely... These recently left my craftroom and are now being displayed in your homes....

A few of you have inquired about the braided hair on this recently posted Shepherd's Bush stocking....
I used mohair thread that she provided, (specified by SB..)... After practicing hand braiding, I carefully attached using the same mohair thread for both the bands and the braids.... Somewhat tedious, but easily learned, I feel it's the perfect touch to this sweet child~ Again, thanks for all the inquiries....

I put a pocket on the back for notes to your friend....
Hoping you enjoyed these ornaments.... Enjoy your day and happy stitching~

What lovely ornaments. I am in awe of the beautiful finishings.
Very beautiful works!
Beautiful ornaments and as always lovely finishings.
Great picture of you!
Love all of the ornaments! Yep, it makes for a festive mood.
One of my favorite things is when I see you've posted a picture walk Faye! Lovely finishes, as always. Happy Holidays!
Fabulous finishing! They are all so beautiful and perfectly complement your customers' stitching.
I always look forward to the pretty pieces you post and your beautiful and thoughtful finishes. Happy Holidays!
Another wonderful post! I love the fabric the stitcher chose for Farmhouse Christmas, and how you finished it with the blanket stitch, and used jute to tie on the bell and add a handle. And the Prairie Schooler chart? I've had that chart for YEARS, but would never have thought to use beads in the corner. Your finish on that is so sweet. And I just love the pocket on the Remember Me pillow - you give such attention to every detail. Thank you for this inspirational treat!
Gorgeous finishes
I love your finishing techniques! They're all so beautiful!!
It's always such a delight to see your beautiful finishes.
I just love every finish a ton, but I'm especially nuts for the strawberries and also the finish with the little pocket on the back! Too awesome! Of course, I love the pic of your awesome smile too, Sis! Sending holiday hugs to you right now! :) <3
I so enjoy seeing your work - what a wonderful talent God has given you! blessings, marlene
