Don't you just love Homespun Elegance designs!! I do and this one is no exception. I finished it into an ornament my usual way and I discovered something in the process. Pearl cotton makes for a great twisted braid and you also have an exact match to sew it on with by using the same pearl cotton. It has a nice sheen to it that enhances the design and if you use DMC pearl cotton and DMC floss, you know your going to have an exact match.....what could be better!!! This one is going on our tree this Christmas and do you see the little snowman pin....it's from JAB.
Onto the next project which I was hoping would be the C Mon Monde SAL but because of a snaffu on their part, I don't have part 3 yet. I'm becoming very disappointed in this SAL as I really don't think they are very organized.
I'm in the middle of designing my freebie Christmas ornament for this year. It's a very simple design but holds alot of meaning for me. I should have it ready in about two weeks so keep watch for it.
So now I'm off to get into trouble in my sewing room.....which I don't think will take too much effort.
Blessings as always,
Barbara

This is such a lovely finish Barbara. I hope you have many happy hours playing in your sewing room!
Your heart will be a gorgeous addition to your Christmas tree this year.
I am doing that SAL as well - but I have only just started with Part 1, oh, I hope that I get all of the parts. I really like the pattern so far. Good luck with getting part 3.
