I showed it to you with Emerson's Kairos necklace. This is a Jerusalem Cross.
Sometimes you just have to say, "Wait a minute!!!", and then you stitch something totally and completely for yourself! That's what I did here. I had plans of making up a snow globe for myself LAST year. Well, since I need a night time project to stitch in front of the kids(remember I am stitching up Henries during the day time?), I told myself this wouldn't take long and I was not going to wait another winter!!
I have other gifts to make up, yes. But, hey sometimes I want SOMETHING for me too! ;) So here it is in the snow globe all finished up.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
I started stitching up another small design for the other side. This pattern has nothing to do with the first. I didn't think it has to, since they are on opposite sides. A little variety. ;)
Jo recently asked what my favorite top five designs from the JCS Christmas Ornaments Issue are. So here ya go, in the order they appear in the magazine.
That was fun Jo! She got the idea from fellow bloggers. What are YOUR favorites from this ornament issue? =)
Well, off to stitch Henry #2. Wanna see Henry #1?

The over one stitching looks so very tiny!
Love your Henry I ! Very nice! Love your snow globe too -- such a pretty design! I like the designs you chose as your favorites from the JCS ornament issue. I like a whole lot of those as well. I think a few of them are favorites of mine as well! Too bad I never get around to stitching any. Hope you are doing better.
Cute finishes - well done!
Over one pieces always look so elegant! Nicely finished!
Such beautiful finishes, Vickie--and that sweet over one Henry just melts my heart :)

I'm getting more and more curious to finally see the new JCS ornament issue. Last time when I wanted to order it it hadn't arrived at the online store where I usually buy it. Now I must go and see if it has come. Love your choice!
The Henry stitching is just sooo cute!!!!
Wonderful snow globe finish Vickie! Fabulous!
I love your ornament issue choices, I need to look at this issue again.

Hi there Vickie , WOW love the snow globe Your stitching over one is fab, big hugs.
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
One over one on 32count, I feel faint, just soooo small but what a wonderful job you've made of your projects.
Love the snowglobe and why not stitch something for yourself, it's nice to have our hard work on show around us.
Hugs to Mabel and Henry xxx
Your stitching is lovely - yes I too like the Blackbird Design Peace one x
Love your snowglobe finish, such a great idea.
I cannot see the holes stitching on 32ct linen...is too dificult for me. You did a great jod and your holy, holy, holy is amazing! I just don't know how you made the globe...I'm really curious about that.
The dog is very cute too :D
Have a great weekend!
Great stitching and I love the snow globe finish - it really is something special!
I love your snow globe finish Vickie. It is beautiful.
There are so many I like in the ornament magazine that I'm not sure I could pick a top 5. I will have to try it though!
So sweet!!! You've been busy!
So beautiful! I love your snow globe! What a beautiful reminder of the cross. :)
Blessings - Julie
Awwww! Stitchy Henry is adorable. :)
I love the snow globe design, such a clever way to display a piece. Who can resist picking up a snow globe amd having a swirl?
Thanks for sharing your Top Five, I like the BBD and the mini cardinal too.
Poor Mabel, would she like a virtual treat? Sorry I can't send a real one down the line!
Henry turned out beautifully : )
I love everything!
