Is anyone else as shocked and appalled and stunned and amazed as I am that I actually have something to post for Finished for Friday?
I saw the tutorial for this cute little gingerbread house ornament while browsing the Sew Mama Sew blog the other night and decided to make one. The window is wonky. . . shucks, all my stitching is wonky and my little felt circles are wonky but I don't care. I like how it turned out and I am now ready to eat candy canes and put up the Xmas tree.
At first I couldn't find the right ribbon in my box of ribbon-scraps-that-I-am-saving-because-you-never-know-when-some-day-you-just-might-need-one. I wanted red ribbon and all the pieces were either red & too wide or just the right width but not red. Fortunately, this little bit of gingham turned up in my other box of ribbon-scraps-that-I-am-saving-because-you-never-know-when-some-day-you-just-might-need-one. Some days it pays to be a hoarder.

What a gorgeous ornament
That is downright adorable! I think it's meant to have a more 'rustic' look. And good to know that hoarding pays off. I've been having my doubts when I look around me at the piles of stuff!
Argh i'm not ready to think about Christmas it's 112 here!
Oh my gosh! That is darling! I want one so bad! Love love love it!
So cute ..... and the best part is it is simple and i can try this out for my baby :)
