to be jolly!! - Well almost it is.
Mum and I do a Christmas ornament exchange most years, and this year the one I have received from mum is simply wonderful, the top part (the Christmas writing) is part of a Brightneedle chart, the santa and the reindeer on either side are from a Prairie Schooler chart and the bottom bit mum made up herself and finished it into the cutest fatest needleroll, its just perfect and will look wonderful on my tree when I put up soon - This years christmas theme/style is kind of country meets homespun in my house and hopefully it will look how I want it to look LOL! but I know that this fits it perfectly.
For mum I gave her a choice and she picked Brittercups ornament from this years JCS ornament magazine, I stitched it on white evenweave using DMC and trimmed the edges with cord and beads and I made the hanger part with the same bugle beads.

Both ornaments are wonderful. I really like the tube beads around the ornie for your mum.
Both of these are gorgeous Su and both have such creative finishing techniques! I love that fat Santa needleroll as an ornament, and I love the beads on your design. Your getting me in the Christmas mood!

Your mum is really a talented lady, little needleroll is so cute!
And your ornament with colourful beads is so beautiful!!
They are both lovely Su. I like the bugle bead trimming on the Briteercup one.
What lovely ornaments Su, I love them both. I have my eye on the pattern that your mum chose, so I may be stitching that up before Christmas, just waiting on some fabric.

I have stars in my eyes...haha! What a lovely exchange you and your mum have done. The chubby little needleroll is gorgeous and totally irresistible and the ornament you stitched in return is so bright and pretty it's like a jar of sweets. The edging of bugle beads is a real inspiration.
Lots of hugs, Angela
They are both so beautiful, Su!
The bugle beads beautifully set off the stitching! Beautiful ornament, Su!
Just beautiful Su, lovely thoughts with you and your Mum.
I chuckled at the Harvest floss keep too, that design brings back memories!! I do use that fob too.
Oh wow, Su, they are both absolutely gorgeous!
Great job on both ornaments; I have to admit I never thought much of the Brittercup one until I saw yours!
Those are both gorgeous!!!!
Pretty sparkly background Su!
