Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher
This new SAL is designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finishes pieces instead of just storing them under the bed. We will all be linking up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month).
Not such a flurry of fully finished objects this month I'm afraid. I planned to do a batch on Sunday afternoon (my favourite time to fully-finish) and then a local group invited us to a gym party. Two hours FREE gym for my son when it usually costs £5 for one hour? Yes please! But I did manage to finish my March Christmas Ornament into a little bell-pull style finish.
This is The Sweetheart Tree Christmas Noel Bellpull from the Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament Special 2007. I cut some batting to shape, laced the back of the linen and then whip stitched a piece of dark green felt to the back. Added a tassel made from co-ordinating thread and a little hanger from a piece of ribbon in my stash. I have remembered to save some of the ribbon for the other two in this series which I will be stitching later this year.
That was the only thing I FFO'd this month. So here are a couple of other designs finished in a similar way.

Don't forget to hop over to Rachel's blog and see what everyone else has Fully Finished this month.
Finally, I will be hosting my Annual Easter Treasure Hunt on Good Friday the 19th April. If you would like to take part this year, just leave a comment here. The week before Easter I will send you a letter of the alphabet which will form part of the mystery phrase. On Good Friday you will post that letter along with a photo of something seasonal that you have stitched (could be Easter or Spring or just something cheerful and sunny or floral). We all hop around like little bunnies to find the Mystery Phrase!
