Winter Squirrel

This is the ornament I made for my son this Christmas (though the actual finishing wasn't done until 2012.  OOPS)  I always forget how busy I get before Christmas.  I think I need to set a reminder in my calendar that says "Start Stitching Ornaments" to come up the 1st of November every year.

Winter Squirrel by The Victoria Sampler

Just Cross Stitch 2011 Ornament Issue

Fabric:  28 ct. linen

Fibres:  some as charted, some what I had in my stash

Embellishments:  #02063 Mill Hill Sead Beads, Poblano Pepper Crescent Colors Chenille

Finished as an ornament

This finish is my new favourite!  I love how crisp and professional it looks, plus it's way faster than when I put together a pillow ornament.  I used my awesome diecut chipboard pieces for the form again.
