Much love to All.

Another Shepard's Bush Ornament finished. I really like
this design. The cording really makes this ornament stand out.
When finishing an ornament, (which is my least favorite step) I do
have fun choosing from my vast collection of cordings, ribbons, etc.
You never really know what will match until you play around with it.
I am always surprised what really goes. It is usually something you
would have never thought of. A couple of people have asked where I got
the cording, it was purchased in NYC in the garment district. If
you go down a little further in the blog you will see a picture of the
cordings I purchased there. Thank you everyone for the kind comments.
They are always appreciated and love reading them. Only other
stitchers understand the love of stitching.

I really like this one too. Going to have to pull out all my magazines and do them also.

This is lovely - I love your cording used - where did you get this - just a regular JoAnn's or a specialty place?

That was fast, really like this one as well. Is that beading around the edges or cording of some sort. Really cool.

I love it and you are right that cording does add something special to the piece. I need to check out where in NYC you got it because I am always looking for nice cording in NJ. Way too many craft shops have closed!

So Pretty! I love the shape. What is in the inside? Maybe a box top?

That looks so good. I love the way you display it on a little easel. And the cording is so different. I've never seen anything quite like that. You're lucky to be able to get to NYC for shopping!

Love your blog. I'll be back often.

What a beautiful ornament, the braid sets it off perfectly. I agree with you about the Santa on the previous ornament too

I adore all of your ornaments. Do you make your own cording or buy it?
