I am so very proud of my ornament this year. Other than the fabric, I made every single part of this ornament by hand, including the cording. The design is called "Bright & Beaded" by Linda Bird and found in the January 2005 Stitcher's World magazine. I changed the colors because the original called for the most hideous versions of pinks and greens I've ever seen. The cord is made using the kumihimo method of braiding.Here to the left is the front of the ornament and below is the back and the detail of the cording. Of course I hope my exchange partner likes what I've made but more than that I really enjoyed making it this year!
Now I am so in the Christmas mood.

You in the christmas mood already? Say it aint so! I will pause now to tell a little story. Our mother never allowed x-mas music to be played before Thanksgiving. However, Sara would want to play it as soon as November started (if not sooner). So, pretty much, every year, she tried to sneak it onto the family stereo. Then one year, she chose a jazz x-mas album. I think we were more than half way through the first song before mom realized.
