Under the Wire April Smalls

Here, finally, is my small for this (last) month, the Gingerbread Man Ornament by Little House Needleworks. I’ve always thought this is one of their cutest ornaments and I’m glad to have made it!

It would have been done sooner if only I could count to 3 accurately on those border corners! Ugh! All but one of them messed me up and set off a chain reaction of an edge being off by 1 or 2 threads. 

I found the perfect finishing fabric! I’ll get it together soon.

In other Smalls news, I have finished stitching up my April “snowy scene” ornament for the Christmas ornies SAL. This one is The Drawn Thread’s freebie called First Snow.

I don’t have a finish plan exactly for this one. But I’m quite happy with it!

At the current rate of making ornaments I will need a dedicated cross-stitched ornament tree this year!
