I got my Just Cross Stitch holiday ornament issue yesterday, so I guess that means I can share these now. I really enjoyed designing this ornament, and was very happy to be invited to submit one this year…
The only problem is, every single time I see it I immediately start singing the Christmas carol in my head, for at least an hour afterward. I suppose that's okay though, bc I really love Christmas carols.
Love and Joy to you – and Happy Memorial Day too!
ETA: Thank you, Bonnie, for pointing out to me that it is NOT Memorial Day today. It's LABOR Day! Oh good grief. See what happens when I blog without caffeine?

You already know that I love this, because I told you before but I’ll say it again anyway – I love your ornament! 😉 My issue is on the way and should hopefully be here in a week or two – I can’t wait to see what else is in there!

Oh, it is wonderful ! I have to buy that issue at once. Thank you !
Every year, when it is about end of September I see the first books of Christmas decoration and Christmas sweets. Then I go home, close all windows and doors and hear my best Christmas CD´s that I have as loud as I want. I need it, I love it.
For me Christmas Time is the best time of the year.

Great ornament! Doing anything without caffeine should be considered a health hazard.

Paulette–I ditto what at least two others said; I just didn’t figure it would be polite to say so, since I’m your mom. LoL! That ornament is a MUST STITCH. And of course the page with the red ornaments screamed at me–Joann..the one with the house on it! Love it!
Catherine
Lovely!

I think the lady that owns my mailbox store is looking through my magazine before she puts it in my box. I love your ornament, especially the little rooster. I can’t wait to get my magazine so I can stitch this.
Robin
LOVE it! I wasn’t going to pick up the ornament issue (since I’ve already got ornament patterns coming out my ears and no time to work on them), but this changed my mind. LOVE it (I already said that, didn’t I?)!!! Love the colors. And that rooster! Awesome.
Laura
Lovely! I’m picking up (or ordering) this issue just so that I can do your ornament. Where did you get that beautiful shade of (taffeta?) ribbon? Thanks!
Giovanna
Loved it as soon as I saw it on the cover preview, as well as recognizing the style immediately 🙂
Looking forward to receiving my copy.
Leslie
I have my copy and I definitely think I will be stitching your ornament. It will make a lovely addition to my tree this year.
