A Christmas finish!

This is another ornament from Just Cross Stitch's Christmas preview:

I used a larger count linen, so it's too big for an ornament. Instead, it's going to be the cover of a small Christmas memory/recipe book! It took 8 hours to do.

This teacup design is from Cross Stitcher (UK), by Lesley Teare. This is the first of four teacups, and it took just over 8 hours to do.

It's designed as a tea cozy, but I'm going to finish it as a tray. I found a nice wood and glass tray from Sudberry House that's perfect for it.

I usually stitch teapots for my mom, but I think teacups are a nice change! There is a matching set of napkins. I won't have time to do them for Christmas, but I plan on doing them someday!
