I got my copy of the 2006 Just Cross Stitch ornaments issue today.
I looked through it and found several that I definitely want to stitch. Here are the ones that caught my eye on my first glance through it:
Pear Tree by Little House Needleworks
To Thee Hope by Brightneedle
Noel 2006 by Glory Bee
Winter by The Prairie Schooler
Winter’s Eve by Country Cottage Needleworks
A Christmas Wish by Blue Ribbon Designs
Quaker Pinkeeps and Scissors Fob with With My Needle
Quaker Medallion Strawberry Pinkeep by Blackbird Designs
Quaker Reindeer by The Workbasket
Peace on Earth by JBW Designs
In other stitching, I started a new project since my last entry. I started working on Home of a Needleworker by Little House Needleworks. I’m amazed at how quickly it’s stitching up. I’ll try and get a picture posted in the next few days.
On my health front, I started my physical therapy today. It was definitely a different experience and left me in a bit more pain than normal, but that’s to be expected from everything I’ve learned. I go back on Thursday for my next session, so hopefully I will have some relief really soon!
Happy stitching! 

















Hope you get some relief soon, Melissa.
I just got that issue too, although I don’t know when I’ll actually stitch one. It’s filled with some pretty pieces, that’s for sure.
Oh! Does this mean you also received October’s Essy?
Hang in there on the PT. Fingers crossed that this will do the trick and we won’t have to have surgery

No, I didn’t get October’s Essy yet. Lois had mailed the magazine before I emailed and asked her to just send them together.
I was looking at the upcoming schedule for Essy. There are some pretty cool designers coming up in the next few months.
