Thank goodness for ornament overflow box.....

I just LOVE to xstitch ornaments as most of you know.  Sometimes I get around to doing the finishing work for them and sometimes they find their way into my "Finished Ornaments Box".  This is a decorator box I bought from Michaels that I put my stitched ornaments in to be finished at a later date.  Sometimes, I put the finishing fabric with them, and sometimes they just sit there waiting to have fabric bought for them.  Then I have days where I just pull from the box and finish 2 or 3 at a time.

Here is why I'm blogging about this.  I was in need of just one more ornament as a last minute gift.  I dug around in my finished ornaments box and found an ornament with the finishing fabric.  YEAHHH  I didn't have to hurry and find a quickie ornament project and stitch it up.  So I did the sewing on it tonight and low and behold, I also had some cording left over (in another bag when I make too much) that worked perfectly as a hanger for the top!!!  Talk about being excited, I was!!!  Now I can wrap this little ornament up and send if off on it's way to dear friends of ours as a surprise Christmas gift to them!

I just LOVE the fabric I had found for the backing!!!!!  I have enough of the blue linen fabric to stitch this again for myself as well as the snowflake backing fabric!  WOOHOO

Happy Stitching!
