Yes, it’s true. I managed to start and finish a piece in just one day. Amazing for me, at least lately. I was off sick from work yesterday and received an email from my dad in Florida halfway through the day, reminding me that there were only 19 days until Christmas and that they wanted to send a gift. He asked if we wanted to do ornaments again this year and I had to respond that I hadn’t actually managed to stitch any ornaments this year, so it wouldn’t be handmade, but sure, we could do ornaments.<\/p>\n

I spent some time looking at Hallmark.com to see what ornaments they had and picked a couple of likely candidates, then remembered the Britty Christmas Puppy ornament in this year’s Just Cross Stitch ornament issue. I ran upstairs, made a copy of the chart, kitted up the design on an ornie cut of 28 count lugana in Potato, with DMC black and red, with purple for the stocking (he said their colors for the tree were white, gold and purple – woohoo!) and Wisper for the hat and stocking trim.<\/p>\n

Several hours (and a headache, unfortunately) later and voila!
