Theme-a-licious Catch Up - September & October

Sorry about missing the Theme-a-licious wrap up for September, I'm not sure what happened but I just didn't manage to get sat down to write it.

My goal for 'September Smalls' was to have as much of the stitching on Glastonbury Garden done as I could before the class.  At my previous update I had finished the outside cover and was working on the outside pocket.  I got the pocket finished and made a start on the inside cover.  

Glastonbury Garden - Forget Me Not in Stitches

I had a wonderful time at the class with Lauren, however I was too busy chatting and stitching to remember to take any pictures, sorry!  Lauren showed us some of her new models and there are some absolutely gorgeous ones for future classes,  I'm just waiting to find out which ones are selected for next year.

Now onto Obligation October,  Heather's guidance is:

  'Wow, the holidays are only a couple months away! Avoid that last-minute crunch and work on some gifts now.'

With that in mind what I decided to work on was the children's Christmas ornaments.  I'm well on the way with Christopher's - Oh Holy Night by Dragon Dreams from the 2000 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue.

Rosie has chosen hers, fortunately a simpler one than last year!  I've also been doing some gift knitting but I can't show that yet.
