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.
