Joy

I signed up for Christina's ornament swap and I've been meaning to post my Christmas deco.

My brief mentioned that vintage was good so going with the vintage theme I pulled out some vintage laces, some precious buttons gifted from The Mr's Nanna and some fabric from a thrifted pillow case. This deco just kind of evolved as I started stitching. I must say it turned out somewhat different to what I had in my head. Funny... Does that happen to you too?






It measures about 6x4 inches and although it's not very 'Christmasy' I am happy with the end result. 
Fingers crossed it will be much loved by it's recipient.



Are you participating in the ornament swap too?
Check out everyones makings over here. Wonderful!

Love how it's turned out. Dotti Angel inspired I think.
Yes I need to add some finishing touches to my ornaments yet, and like yours mine arent all that'christmasy' but I guess the beauty of that is they can be left on display all year through.

This is so lovely and different to what I've seen around. Would be the showpiece of any tree I should think. Love it!
