Emerson

 Hi friends!  I want to share with you the Christmas ornament I have made for Emerson this year. 

This is a free pattern I found while searching for carpenter cross stitch.🔨 Unfortunately I did not save the site. I altered the pattern a little. He was wearing a hat. Emerson does not. I stitched this two over two with DMC on 32ct mystery linen. I bought the wood pattern material from JoAnn. The twine, ribbon, and nails (ha!) are all from stash.🧰 I thought the nails hot glued in place of a bow, made it a bit more "manly".💪 I am rather pleased with this finish. 

The winner of the pattern, 🐄Statehood Splendor Series 41st Wisconsin🧀by Thread Milk Designs, is:
Marilyn!
Marilyn, the pattern is on it's way to you!💗
I have a small pile of pieces that need to be finished now. I really, really prefer stitching to finishing! I force myself to finish though. I do not want pieces lingering in a drawer somewhere. I will finish the one I am working on now and then tomorrow I will start finish work. On at least one. HA!

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.  1John 4:18

Thank you for your lovely comments my friends. They are the only thing keeping this old blog of mine going.

I do hope you have a wonderful week. Happy Stitching! Till next time.

Stitching and praying,

Vickie

    Great finish, such detail! Do I remember another for him that was framed with a wood measure? So creative and personal.

    What a fantastic finish! I love the added nails, they definitely make it more manly. He should love it!
    I have a pile/box full of things to finish, but if I'm not in the right "frame" of mind, it's not going to happen.
