My second finish for The Beautiful Things Project was a new one for me: I finished a cross-stitch into a little ornament! During my last week of summer break, I found a free pattern online and knew it perfect for me as the farmhouse’s resident chicken lady. I changed it a little bit so it would fit in the hoop. I then followed a tutorial to finish the back and while it’s definitely not perfect, I was happy to learn a new technique and can’t wait to make another one. They’d make cute gifts!
