I'll pass....

Greetings all! Thanks for all of your kind comments and visits to my blog of ramblings.It's appreciated! I usually buy the lastest of the JCS Ornament Issue. I have looked this year's issue over and you know what friends, it just doesn't do it for me. I found maybe two that I might even possibly think about stitching. Just doesn't have enough inspiration for me to go out and fork over the dough for it. For me, last year's issue was lacking too, but not nearly as bad.It seemed like maybe they just threw this one together.I don't know but I think I will pass this year.

There were a few ornaments that jumped out at me last year.One was 'Walt the Malt" from Raise the Roof. I had to do him right away. He is so cute. I made some of the buttons for him as I didn't want to wait for them to come in the mail. I made his carrot nose, the holly leaf and berries, and the peppermint disk. The heart and the star I already had and there is no way on God's green Earth that I would even attempt making those anyway! Maybe I'll have to stitch another for a giveaway soon! Hmmm...Oh ,he's making me think of hot cocoa and I think I have enough time for a cup before I head out! Here's the little guy.

My sister was begging for him the other day and she even told her husband to put him in his shirt pocket . Is this a hint she wants one? I think maybe. ;)

On that note I think I will go join Walt . You all have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by.

'Til next time ,

Happy stitching,

Sharlotte
