Slow and Steady Wins the Race

I've been a good girl.  I'm steadily working on finishing these ornaments for my Husband's family.  It has taken longer than I thought it would.  After all, it is hard to cut out a circle and an oval on that mat board.  I sure do hope that Santa brings me some better finishing equipment this year!

Here they are so far.....

And the backing fabric......

Hopefully I will get the cording made tonight.  That way I can spend tomorrow evening relaxing in front of the TV with my cording and invisible thread in hand!

Happy Stitching!

Your ornaments are soooooo pretty. I'm like you, I hate to do the finishing, in fact, I rarely do, I send them out and pay someone to do :)
