Happy Dance - Little Bear

Started: 1/17/2017

Finished: 1/29/2017

This is one of six Little Bear Ornaments from a kit by Joan Elliott.  It's stitched as charted on the white plastic canvas included.  

The one issue I had is that I couldn't tell the three yellow DMC apart so I've substituted 725,726 and 727 from my stash.  There's also an unintentional customization in the ribbon, but I'd already backstitched that area and I think it looks okay so I'm leaving it.

This was stitched as part of the Christmas All Year Round SAL on Stitch Mania.

Happy Dance - Away in a Manger

Started: 1/16/2016

Finished: 1/17/2016

Quick and Easy Cross Stitch (issue unknown)

This replaces the "Deck the Halls" ornament I was stitching for the Christmas Ornie SAL's January theme of music. 

It's stitched on 18-count white Aida with the called for DMC and Kreinik #4 gold braid.

It will probably be my granddaughter's Christmas ornament for 2016.

There are two more designs in this series and at some point I'd like to do them both.
