Spring time and stitching

Hello my friends.
Spring blossoms opening in one of the
Apricot trees.


This showing two of the four Tui`s visiting us.


This month for 
`Christmas Ornie SAL 2015`
I stitched 
`Santa`s Helper`
from Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2012.
The rope has been plaited and I ruffled the ribbon for edging. 


The other Santa 
`Button Santa` 
from Better Homes and Gardens
Cross Stitch Christmas 2000.
Placing buttons from my stash as suggested.
I made this as a stand alone,
using gold Ric-rac to complete finish.


These are now in my Christmas box
waiting to be used in December.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

    Neat idea to have it made as a stand up.
