I decided to stitch the Sam Sarah snowman 'Love' ornament first. So many pretty colors and such a fun design. I used all DMC so it looks a bit different from the magazine model. I didn't have those L-O-V-E buttons to attach to the gifts so I just used some little buttons from my stash instead. I like the way she used couching for the heart border. Very effective and original. The ribbon hanger is a deep purple. Not sure if the color is showing up well in the photos. I took one inside and one outside and, of course, I'm not really happy with either one.

You made a very lovely ornament.
You have magic fingers!!!!
What a cute ornament. Great finish!
What a lovely ornament! I love the buttons you used, they work really well.
Sorry it took so long for you to get your ornament issue, what a pain - at least you have it now though.
That is such a cute ornament, Annie! I think it's one of my favorites from the issue. I love your finishing!
It's one of my favorite chart from the magazine too. Love all those cute little buttons you attached.
What a lovely design! I also like the couched heart border.
OMG allready time for the ornament issue! I am not up to date since I started studies instead of cross stitching ;-) I love the ornament Annie! Very nice :-)
I love how you finish the ornament. It looks great!!
It looks wonderful to me Annie! It's such a cheerful ornament!
I love the ornament, Annie, and I think your photos turned out just fine, too!
Oh gorgeous finish Annie it;s just adorable!
He's adorable Annie! I'm going to leave the LOVE buttons off too. He's on my to-do list, whenever that comes around ;o) LOL!
It's lovely Annie!! =)
Good work girl ;)
What a lovely finish! The snowman is so adorable.
I love the purple ribbon, it's so pretty.
He's beautiful Annie, love the way you've adapted the button idea. I just received my ornie issue last week(not a subscription though) and there are some great designs I have added to my 'list'! Hope you have a wonderful day.
Very beautiful finish.
I rarely have all the threads that a chart calls for, nor do I have the charms and buttons that the model uses. I always take threads and embellishments from what I have and usually I'm very happy with the result.
wow...lovely ornament...great finishing as usual. I missed visitng your blog ...let me sit down and take a round thru your blog to see your updates
I;m partial to snowmen, and this one is beyond adorable! Great stitching and finish!
Wonderful stitching Annie! I just received my JCS ornament issue on Wednesday, 27th.. lol It may take me a while to do some of the designs, but sure are some nice ones. Happy stitching! :)
ps: I forgot to mention I am going to start The Sweetheart Tree on pg 55 of the JCS ornaments issue. With a different finish though.. Happy Stitching!!
Love your Snow Love :) Great job Annie!
fantastyczny bałwanek :)
