Going walnuts

It took some time, but I'm finally getting around to show you another project. Yipee, i knocked off one item on my scary-to-do list.

As i was organizing my supplies, i found these cute walnuts shells that i collected a while back on my first christmas vacation to visit the mister and his family {Hamburg, Germany}. I wasn't sure which project to use them with so i kept them aside and has forgotten about them. I think it's about time i made them into something useful and adorable. In the end i decided to make these little ornaments because they would look so adorable on a tree and when christmas is over, they could be use as key-chains or decorations or even as pincushions.

I had some cross-stitch fabric i really wanted to use and i just went with it. And it's funny, i had forgotten how fun it was to work on some cross-stitches. Good times in the little studio. I'm quite smitten with how they turned out, especially the fact that they look puffy. Cute, eh? Perfect for some holiday cheer. I would love some feedback on these little ornaments. No pressure, though.

Hope you have a great weekend.
I'm looking forward to tackle some of the projects on my scary-to-do list, make some comfort food and of course, a bit of lounging. At least those are a few things I hope to do.
Love to you and yours!.

Oh honey, so good to you back in your studio and creating such LOVELY AND BRILLIANT goodies! Welcome back...

These are fab and I'm smiling that they came from Germany. Germans are big into natural decorations at the holidays, so this is a perfect twist on the traditional walnut ornament!! Your friend, tj

Hi Jacqueline! Oh my goodness, I love those. They are so stinkin' cute and they remind me of mini cupcakes, chocolate with vanilla icing! MMmmmmm... The cross-stitching on top makes them even cuter..
Hope you are doing well and keep going on that scary list! Doesn't it feel good to cross things off a big list like that!?!?

oh! Oh! OH ~ Jacqueline! Those walnut ornaments are some of the most creative & cute little goodies I've seen in a long time. I especially love the cross-stitched initials on top. I can even imagine one made with a tiny menorah on it for people like me who celebrate a different holiday this time of year!

[Terri]

Cute little ornaments! Those cross-stitch designs will really pop off the decorated tree. I love it when you collect something for a future project, and then the right idea comes along.

[Tricia]

Oh, I'm nuts for these...lol! They turned out so cute. I have a walnut idea in the back of my mind too, we'll have to see if I have enough time to put them together though. Have a very wonderful weekend ♥
