A couple cross stitch finishes.

I do manage a little bit of cross stitch and even finished a couple today. 

Part of the push was because one is for a baby shower gift. 

Once I finished one I continued on and finished a second one in the same manner. 

Both were ornaments from the Just Cross Stitch magazine. 

The first is from the August 2014 issue.  SamSarah's Snow Baby. 

I used more pink than the pattern called for. 


The second is Noel Pinkeep by Erica Michael's Design...from the 2008 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue. 

Yikes...2008!  I stitched this earlier this year but kitted it up back in 2008.  I thought it would be a nice pinkeep like featured in the magazine but then today's finishing method felt like a good plan. 

 

They are both a little too large to be ornaments but will be cute decorations.
 

Finishing is still just not my thing.  These are cute, though.

  4. Pam, I have never seen anything but excellent finishing from you and these are no exception! So cute and fun colors, too! That snowman with the baby is a perfect idea for an ornament for a new mom--will have to remember that one...
