Christmas Ornament for Carolyn

Wow, the postal service sure was fast with this one - I think I mailed it to Carolyn on Friday... and it somehow found its way to Texas already today :-) Great - that makes me feel a little less tardy with having gotten it out ;-) I chose to do this one for her quite some time ago, so I am glad to hear that she likes it!

I learned today that Janien has received the little exchange I sent to her a couple of weeks ago for the Crazy Exchange group. I was sad to hear through her daughter that Janien is ill. I do hope she gets better soon!

Great ornament and floss ring. I stitched this same design with the intent of making a floss ring, but I used the wrong kind of interfacing and ruined it.
