Nativity cross-stitch

I started this back in November and worked on it for a couple days and then didn't get back to it until today. It isn't quite what I was hoping for, but I'd say that for designing it myself it isn't too bad. It is Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus cross-stitched onto a kitchen hand towel (in case you couldn't tell). It may have missed Christmas this year, but Christmas will come again next year and I can get it out then.

Cherries for my kitchen

My kitchen is decorated with cherries and these have been on my to-do list forever. I made three hot pads and put a ruffle on a hand towel. I think they turned out pretty cute. I love the look of cherries!
