Oh, this is so much fun...Nancy, I am so glad you like your ornament. It's was a real joy making them. Nancy your ornament arrived here Monday and it is adorable. I just love it. Did you use a stamp to stamp the letters on the back? I've never done that before. Do you have to use special ink? Very cute. I just love all the picture and the idea's.
When I feel spring coming I have to plant or I’ll go crazy! |

Girls, I think it would be fun to either post a pic or description of the ornament you receive so we can all enjoy it... Just an idea.

Hi swap partners: sorry for being late--my little boy has been so sick that I spent the last 2 days in the ER and then Dr appointments.  ..whew...behind on everything now.
Strange Thanksgiving for us...but I think he'll be better soon.
I have the ornaments made...but can't get to PO yet!
****************
Reading, posting, sewing ...all day long..la la la
I LOVE being a FARMGIRL!

| Hey, all. Tammy, yes I did use alphabet stamps to write the word on old muslin before stitching it to the heart. The ink is one that is permanent (we shall see!). I made another one like the one I sent you, for my crafts open house next weekend, and it is so cute I think I will make a few more. I don't have the digital camera here with me, so I have to describe my ornament to ya'll. It is a cute little raggedy ann with RED HAIR (like mine!), wearing a red dress with a snowman stitched on front. She has black button eyes, a shy smile, and the cutest nose...much cuter than mine. She is stitched, ever so gently, onto a beige heart and she will enjoy pride of place on the tree very soon! This was a fun swap!! Hugs, Nance |

Hi Tammy. Thank you. It is punch needle. It is one of the easiest needle work that I have ever done. I'm glad that you liked it. I loved my snowman as well. I have enough snowmen to pretty much decorate a tree of just snowmen. I love them.

Sorry I haven't been around, it's been one thing after another here. My mom just got out of the hospital yesterday for extremely high blood sugar.
Autumn...You should be getting your ornament soon, if not already. I mailed it early last week, I can't remember the day now for the life of me. I absolutely love your ornaments. I will try to take a pic for the rest of you. They are beautiful felt ornaments, a red country heart and a cute lil reindeer. Thanks so much Autumn, and thank you for your patience.
May you all have a blessed Christmas
Blessings....

I'm glad you like the ornaments- they are actually wool And wool felt- I just love working with wool. It feels sooo homey and nice.
So happy you like them.

Hey all--myfairlady sent me the most beautiful ornament--she painted it herself! Now, how did she know Chickadees were my favorite little birds? So pretty....but sadly, she'll have to wait until Friday (cross fingers) to get hers because our local post office thought my "fancy" font said WV rather than WY....there is a big difference, I understand (duh) ......So, I've resent it with the plain ole boring lettering.
"She was built like a watch, a study in balance ... with a neck and head so refined, like a drawing by DaVinci"...

I got my lovely ornament today from Sarah(Mustangsuzie).
It is a lovely crochet bell with a tiny teddy as the ringer! How cute! Did you make it? Surely not with all you have going on- it is just so adorable!
Thanks so much!
