A Christmas finish

Ta dah! I finished my Christmas bauble. A wee bit of cursing at the end as one of the segment points frayed so now sporting a little button at the bottom. I added 2014 on the star panel as some of the stars were just too small. I love how it turned out. Will probably make another one but not this year.

Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike stuffing things? It was my least favourite part of this project too.

Happy Christmas stitching.

  5. I like the wool ornament very much. A unique design. I do not like stuffing either. Seems hard to get an item stuffed evenly. And then to sew it closed with stuffing wanting to pop out.

  10. Okay, wow! I have been so done with Christmas crafting for the last several years, but this makes me want to play too. Maybe if I lie down the feeling will go away? lol

  18. You have done a wonderful job with making your ornament. I was going to buy this but was worried it might be too small for my fingers. They don't seem to work as well these days. Hugs.......

  25. Wow Susan, your bauble turned out so very sweet! Well done, it looks gorgeous.

    Congrats to your sons on their achievements - isn't it so good when young-uns are ambitious for themselves & achieve such good things for their hard work? I trust they're suitably impressed with themselves! Being Mum to a uni student is not as scary as you might think - my two girls have taken to it like ducks to water!
