The Sleigh Landed...The Ornament Edition...

As Santa's SSCS sleigh flew north homewards to Lappland it was a slight detour to Norway to drop off the package at Tonje's house...After a good stalk of Tonje's blog to make a list of favourite colours, likes, interests, etc there an immediate flurry of activity on one idea that was neither the main present or the hanging ornament - but it was fun and it did get the ball rolling...then while catching up on blogs I spied in the "you might also like" bit on Hanne's blog this stuffed heart that ticked boxes for the hanging ornament so without delay printed off the stitchery sketch so kindly shared.  Thank you Hanne for sharing your creativity.

Using a snowflakey/starry type print cream on cream background fabric, the thread palette decided by Tonje's favourite colours listed as black, blue, purple and brown...and her love of rats and mice...

Cute little mouse...
blue backing fabric continuing the snowflakey/starry theme...

And it can double as a pincushion!

Happy Stitching...
