Freebie parade!

At least that's what it's going to seem like. I tend to keep a small freebie pattern or two tucked away in my bag when I'm on the road, and I've been in the car a lot lately...

This is called "HollyDay Star", and it was a free ornament from a now-defunct company. It was supposed to be on perforated paper, but i know how likely it would be to survive on paper, so i did it on perforated plastic. I like the Darice 14-ct plastic just fine, and it looks just like paper.

And maybe the cat won't eat it. She ate the last one I did on paper.

As soon as I find the nice piece of heathered blue felt I had for it, I'll trim and back this one for the tree. I'll put up a picture of it properly decked out. If I waited to post the pics until I finished, It'd be a really empty blog...

First finish for the new blog!

Well, the first finish that gets to be here is a quick freebie from StitchyKitty, "Meow Spoken Here". It was a fun little design to do. I didn't have the specialty thread that she suggested. (Being in the wilds of Kentucky doesn't do wonders for your ability to reach a specialty shop.) I used DMC variegated instead, and I think it came out nice for the most part. I should've used something that varied more for the yarn ball, but live and learn I guess.
I haven't done any finishing with it yet. I can't figure out what to do with it.... Any suggestions?
