How I Spent My Sunday Afternoon

It ended up to be a fairly productive afternoon. I did a bit of ironing after I got home from church, then pressed and trimmed the bookmark. I decided to just fringe the bottom; I think I prefer that rather than fringe on both ends. I'm pleased with how it turned out and I hope my guy's mom will like it. She's not a big reader, but maybe she will want to keep it in her Bible.


I finished up the redbird ornament whilst watching the Steelers beat the Packers (woohoo! Go Steelers!) The game literally went down to the last second. Anyhoo, here's how the ornie turned out. Backstitching isn't my favorite thing to do, but it's amazing the difference it makes.

Now I just need to have a finishing day!

I love both of your finishes Karen. I plan to do a few bookmarks as gifts this year as well as work on my WIPs.

Hope you had a nice Christmas.
