Poodle Ornaments!

My friend, Vickie, shared the cute poodle ornaments she made and I was smitten! Anyone who knows me, knows I love poodles, just like Vickie does. So I knew I had to make them for my tree, too!

Here's a picture of the kit.

This kit was different for me in that it doesn't use floss but a fine yarn, for lack of a better word. It's a beautiful kit and I bought mine from 123Stitch HERE

Here's my progress on them

Here's the little back-stitch detail added in - makes a huge difference, doesn't it?

And finally, here are both ornaments stitched up

I'm in the process of cutting them out and doing the whip stitch around them. I'm so very pleased with how they came out and how much fun they have been doing.

My stitching has slowed down a bit because I'm having some pain and numbness in my hand. I have a brace that I've been wearing and it's helping. I hope I can get back to my full time stitching soon!
