How weird, because I *can* see the photos of the round poinsettia ornie... Here they are again!



Jennifer - the PS pinkeep is the first chart to the left in the upper row of the #35 leaflet "Prairie Garden". I didn't change anything else than the threads I used ;-). By that I mean that I used silks instead of DMC but I followed the graph - a pink color, a dark green, a light green...
Gabi - I'll be away 3 months at least.
Suzanne - you asked about the template for the gingerbread man. My scanner has died and I should get a new one soon, so I can't help you today. I took it from a Tilda (Tone Finnanger) Christmas book. But, honestly, as I've been telling others offlist, you could easily draw one yourself or follow or print out a template/photo from Internet, the shape is pretty basic, and then all that's left to do is to sew around and stuff it. And to decorate it the way you want :)
Speaking of Tilda, one great thing about being in Norway in January specifically was that I could grab the new Tilda the day it was issued. I guess it will take a few months before it is translated into English but who know, maybe they're more smart than I think and the English version will be out very soon! I'm planning to do the little mouse from it while away. That said, I should be back in a week or two hopefully!
One more earlier finish which H. keeps on his desk... by Elisabeth Designs.

To all of you cat lovers... see THIS video - till the end. He actually is beautiful, don't you think?
Me, I can't wait to see my Toska tomorrow evening. Oh, I know she'll ignore me. She'll hiss and all. Tough love, they say. But I love my witch of a cat, or as H. calls her... well, I'll let you exchange the first letter of witch with the second letter of the alphabet! LOL

Your poinsettias ornament looks very nice. You give all your finishings a little special touch.
The saying on H's ornament is so nice.
