Following up on those promised photos

I returned to the finishing center this weekend and here are a few photos of what I have accomplished thus far:
Workbasket's Quaker Christmas Holly ornament
and some Homespun Elegance ornaments:
Oh Snowy Night

Great Good Cheer [Santa 1999]
Toy Noah [Santa 2001]


And stitching on WIPs during the past few days and in between stints at the sewing machine, has produced these results:
Quaker Flower from the Stitcherhood

Workbasket Quaker Pig

Since I only worked with finishes on Sunday, I am satisfied with my progress. I did manage to cut out the cardboard backs for my next finishing project, a two sided door hanger with an angelic cat on one side and a piratical cat skull and cross bones on the other, and put the last coat of paint on the band box that will become the Rabbit Rondel sewing basket. I hope to have those two items finished by Friday and then I'll get to work on some bell pulls and gift totes over the weekend.

Your ornaments are lovely!
I am just terrible at finishing ornaments! I've got a pile of them waiting for me!

Those look great. I only got one done this weekend, but I got the supplies to do a bunch of other ones.

Both the stitching and finishing on your ornaments is beautiful.
Love the color you used on your wip in the last photo, it is very pretty.
