January x'mas ornament...

... !! So...my first ornament is stitched! Now the finishing, i just don't know how to finish it of. I am thinking into a pinkeep(square) or try it into a heart shape hanging ornament.

This design is from Jo Verso which was featured in one of the quick and Easy magazines years a go. Stitched on 14ct red Aida with blanc DMC thread.


The last days passes by very quickly! Last friday, Grace went ice skating with her swimming club to the mainland. We then took Chris and his friend Mels to the swimming pool for the afternoon, otherwise he'll just be alone here at home with his oldies..ha ha.., we too needed a bit of exercise as we couldn't go out for a walk with the cold weather.
Friday evening, a couple of friends came by for a drink and had a nice evening catching up as they've been to Germany for the holidays.
Early this morning(sunday), been to my work to help for the big cleaning of the restaurant as we are closed for a month starting today!!! Yippeeee!! The owners are going to Austria(winter sport) and a few others too for a couple of weeks. They don't have children who are at school yet so it is fine for them. We can't though as our children have to go to school.
