To start, here are my 6 Fat Men's progresses. I am down to the last Fat Man, Snow Day. These snowmen are a delight to stitch!

When Diana of LHN shows her monthly ornaments for this year, I fell in love with Quaker Birds. This will be my ornament for May. I am ahead of my schedule, ha ha!

Finally, I managed to sit down and did some finishings!
Here is Busy Needle's Needlebook, I added my initial to the back. The pins are gifts from my friend, Joyce.
Next, I finished two scissors fobs, one from LK and the other from SB.

The next two are pincushions!
Remember this in my last post? It's the bonus chart from LK's Inspiration Boxer #B35.
This pincushion is very tiny, mounted on a small color palette. It is very convenient for beads, buttons and charms during stitching! That bird was stitched by my friend, Kristine.
Another pincushion but this one is not done by me! It's a gift from Kristine. Thank you, Kristine for this gorgeous 15-sided biscornu! Look at the embroidery, they are so beautifully done!
Sorry for the poor pictures, I was trying to capture the beautiful embroideries!
Last but not least a cushion cover finished again by my friend, Kristine. She is good at sewing and patchworks. The stitching was completed much earlier.
I received a beautiful PS ornament from Karen for the HoE PS Ornament Exchange.
Karen chose this design from the Snowy Nights Booklet. I love this ornament, thank you Karen for a lovely Exchange!
For this same exchange, I stitched for Becky Kirkbride a tiny Santa from the mini cards series. I forgot to take a picture of the ornament before sending it out.
This picture was taken by Becky.
Thank you for your patience, hope you have enjoyed these pictures. Thank you for visiting my blog and taking time to leave lovely comments, they are greatly appreciated!
Happy stitching until the next update!
Hugs,
Ellen

Your stitched finishes are all gorgeous. Your 6 Fat Men are coming along nicely and very colourful, I am looking forward to stitching one of them soon in a round robin I am part of.
Wow! You've sure been busy, Ellen--so many gorgeous finishes to share with us. Your Fat Men are looking so jolly and I love all your ornaments. Beautiful work :)
I'll never tire of snowmen. They're just too cute. Beautiful stitching! You finished May's ornie already? Nice! Love your finishings, especially the colour palate pincushion. Very unique idea. I'll be sure to keep that in mind :) I'd love to make that 15 sided biscornu too. So pretty ^.^

What a lovely post Ellen.
The Fat Men are so cute and your needlebook is gorgeous.
The embroidered pincushion you received as a gift is very special.
Love the two scissor fobs also.

Lovely little pillows you've stitched! I love the needlebook! It's so sweet! You have some of the loveliest little stitches :D
I am in awe of all of your gorgeous stitching finishes, Ellen! I love everything and wish that I had your talent for finishing! Your post is just wonderful! Blessings!
Everything so beautiful, especially the Busy Bee needlebook.
Loved the idea of the Palate pincushion. Its so cute.
I'm so impressed with all of your beautiful finishes! You've been so productive--great job on everything! I love the ornaments, and the 6 Fat Men are adorable. I'm debating doing the L*K Halloween mystery piece--I love the saying on it.
What a great post this is. You've finished some great projects and maybe The 6 Fat men are finished as well by now. Great stitching on each of them. And your finishings are just awesome.
Lots of lovely stitching Ellen.:)
Beautiful work! Your finishing is fantastic!
