Well I had a finish!
Teresa Kogut’s
“Snowday Buddies”
And here is the backside
And…when you can’t sleep because your hip is bothering you - you get up at 4 am and finish it 😂
This round ornament features:
(A LOT of stitching 😂 I thought I’d bang it out in no time, Took 3 days) handmade triple color cording, a jaunty bow and a snowflake charm.
The snowflake charm was rustic prim, I painted it white.
Today a snowstorm is headed to Indiana…
It’s already very cold (28 degrees) and there is a Severe Winter Weather warning.
We have groceries - honestly I’m getting back on my eating plan today so groceries isn’t really needed - but we got ‘em!
I’ve partied enough with food over the last month.
I’m gonna scoot outside to get my sidewalk laps in this morning before snow comes. Do my PT exercises then head up to my recovery room and get into some stitching and Christmas movie watching.
We aren’t going to put up decorations for Christmas this year 🥹 because of my hip surgery recovery.
❤️ But Christmas is really in your heart and I try to keep it there all year long. ❤️
I want to thank those who have found me and leave/send such positive and encouraging words.
It soothes my heart and brings a smile to my face.
😊 thank you 😊
What a beautiful ornament you stitched and finished for Cora, Vonna! Its solid stitching reminds me of those Prairie Schooler ornaments/smalls where I think I can crank them out quickly. Happy to hear you all are prepped for the impending storm! Your plan for the day sounds grand.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow. Love Cora’s ornament. So sweet. She is one lucky girl to have you as her Grandmother. What a treasure trove of beautiful things she will have for her Christmas tree. Hope your recovery control ho well. Happy Holidays, Sandi
ReplyDeleteI am beyond pleased that I found you. You have been on my mind a lot, and I am so happy to see you are in recovery. What a beautiful ornament for your little Cora. We are doing light decorating this year as well. - Sue
ReplyDeleteAaaww, What an absolutely adorable ornament for Miss Cora. Those are the best kind of ornaments. As for decorating for Christmas, you are right…it is in your heart and you have a big one. Besides, I know you have your creché up and that is what the season is all about. Thinking of you as you heal. Hugs my friend!
ReplyDeleteCora's ornament is beautiful. I love the rustic look.
ReplyDeleteJust think . . . since missing decorating this year, you are going to be in beast-mode NEXT year. Decorations will be popping out of every corner ...... you might even flow over into the neighbor's house. ;-)
