It's January...so that means the start of this years Ornament Swap. We are a small group of friends swapping Christmas ornaments every two months. Long-time readers may remember my swap posts from last year...
January means it's Lori's turn. Lori's blog is Stitchin' Times Five. Everyone in our group stitches an ornament and sends it to Lori this month. I can't begin to explain how much fun it is to receive your ornaments. (My turn is in March. I can't wait!) There were PROBLEMS this go-round. First, I sealed up the box all nice and tight. Then...realized I hadn't taken a photo of my exchange. Sigh. I open the box back up. Arrrgh! Next, I'm taking the photograph when I see I have completely forgotten to Stitch "Daffycat" at the bottom like I've been doing for this exchange. *smacks forehead with palm* Arrrgh ~ again! Sorry, Lori...I was NOT going to risk frogging my careful sewing (I'm still not sewing-machine-confident) for the sake of having my name on it!
Design ~ Chill OutDesigner ~ Lizzie*Kate
Fabric ~ 32 count Daffycat Dyed Belfast Linen
Fiber ~ DMC as charted
Finish ~ Pillow Ornament
There were more TUSAL prizes that have arrived in the last week. I'm only going to tease you for now by letting you know there are more! But...I'm not going to show you pictures yet as I'm behind on my blogs, stitching and housework. Chill out! I'll get to it soon. Besides, I will need something new to blog about. I still can't show you my current stitching!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

The color you dyed the linen is beautiful.
He's adorable!!! I understand your pain about having everything stitched up only to noticed you forgot something.
I did that with on one the mini Chatelaines. I noticed that I had left out a whole row of beads after it's been stretched! So, I had to unstretch one side to tack in the beads... I was too lazy to pull everything apart. LOL!
He's adorable! I bet Lori will love him!
Love him! Great finish.
Super cute ornament. Great start to a year of exchanges.
Despite the fact that you didn't personalize it, it still looks fabulous and I'm sure it will be well received :o)
He is just adorable!
I too have had to open up the package before sending. Occupational hazard for stitchers. LOL.

Your little snowman is just too cute! I really like the color of the linen and the buttons are a nice touch.
