Before Christmas I was able to finish a few ornaments for my nieces and nephew.
The pattern is a
freebie from
Victoria Sampler. Stitched 2 over 2 on 28ct white cashel linen. I bought the cording at Joann's.

This ornament is from Bizzi Creations called "Enjoy the Holidays". The pattern is out of the 2006 Just Cross Stitch Special Ornament Edition. It is stitched 2 over 2 on 28 count natural linen. I accidentally reversed the purples in the skates. I also used a silver metallic on the blades instead of the light shade of purple that the pattern called for. I added my niece's name "Tyla" and "2006" to personalize it a little bit for her. I used a strand of silver beads to finish the edge and make the hanger. Purple fabric was used for the back.

Also, here's a few pics of the biscornu I stitched for the Biscornu Exchange for
drealkulit.
The pattern is a complimentary pattern from Just Nan. I stitched it on 28 count natural linen, 2 over 2. I added a few beads from Mill Hill on the front and edges. For the back, I stitched our names, Biscornu Exchange, and the date.
