Over the weekend I finished stitching the Bling! ornament. I had planned on making it into the ornament on Saturday but after reading the finishing directions (several times), I decided to add some fray check around it. I've never cut close on canvas and thought it a good idea to add some adhesive around the edges 'just in case'. Well, it had to dry a bit and then I wasn't home most of the day Sunday so it still isn't done yet. Anyways, here she be at this time:
While the fray check was drying, I added the cording to 6 ornaments:
They still need assorted baubles, buttons and bows added but it's a good start to the final finish. And I tell you this, my fingers were sore (ouch!) after tacking all that cording down. I really need to learn to use a thimble.
And last, but not least, I put in a few stitches on Mary:
Happy Monday!
Wow! You've been busy! Love your projects and with all those ornaments I guess you are ready for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThose ornaments look fantastic. I'm jealous, I have no idea how to make finishes using cording! :)
