Here are a few ornaments stitched from the Just Cross Stitch 2014 Ornament issue. They were fun to stitch, and believe it or not, they're finished! The Country Cottage Needlework, Joy, was stitched a couple years ago, but just finished.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. After dinner was over and the family went home, I got to stitch and finish today Christmas Fruit Basket by Threadwork Primitives. Because the linen (35ct WDW Mocha) I chose was a bit darker, there were a few substitutions, but I think it is pretty!

February Flip It (2001) by Lizzie*Kate. Since my fabric – linen sample stash – was smaller count, I replaced the charm with a stitched heart, and the recommended DMC.
Eliza Scattergood by Plum Street Samplers is finished. She is stitched on 36ct Exemplar using the recommended NPI silks. I did make a little change to the verse. The original:
"Eliza Scattergood, her work 1839. When I survey this work of mine, I'm filled with joy and dread.
May Christ my life with his entwine before my days' last thread."

My version:
"Eliza Scattergood, her work 1839. When I survey this work of mine, I'm filled with joy and dread.
May all my stash be stitched and hung before my days' last thread." She was a fun project – first finish of 2014.
