I finally finished my 2 ornaments that had been completed for weeks but I just couldn't find the time to finish them. Life has been crazy for this old music teacher. We are going through accreditation at my school and I am a committee chair and so I have had lots of meetings and extra work to do besides teach. So life gets a little hectic sometime.
I used Daffycat's (Sharon Bennett) little Ribbon Reindeer pattern and Lindy Jane Designs, an Oklahoma Christmas pattern, I used opalescent fabric and the suggested threads. I finished them with beats around the edge and a fabric hanger from the fabric on the backs of the ornaments. I really enjoyed making these two ornaments. One is filled with some crushed walnuts shells and crushed lavender from my flower bed. The other is just flat, not filled.
I want to work on my finishing skills with projects for me but there never seems to be the time.
I have started a Becky Boo's Christmas angel with the hanging ornaments. I have done Halloween and July 4th. I would also like to do her Easter project. Do a few stitched everyday and they will get done. :)

Very nice. I like the fabric hangers. Now you can breathe for a few minutes!
Oh, my little reindeer looks so good on sparkly fabric! Great finishes!
