I had hoped to get this ornament made last year for the Christmas tree at my favorite local coffee shop and bakery but I ran out of time.  So this year it was given a higher priority on my to-do list to make sure I got it done.  The design came from Embroidery Library and was a delight to stitch out, as most of their designs are.  It is designed to be used as a towel topper but I think it makes a perfect tree ornament.  I also embroidered the shop name and date on the back.

I’ve been overly busy this week.  In addition to trying to keep up with my to-do list and blog posts,  I have also been getting ready for a craft show I am doing on Saturday.  I have spent the week cleaning, pressing and otherwise freshening up pieces, working on a few new ones, finishing up some UFOs, making new price tags, and gathering supplies and materials for my display.  This is the first year of a small show with about 20 vendors hosted by a local church.  Please stop by if you are in the area.
