Dickens Village Ornament finish

I thought I'd be posting this a long time ago, since I wanted to do an ornament a month this year.  It's March but better late than never!  This ornament seemed to take a lot of stitching, I think my next choice is going to be smaller and simpler.  This is from the leaflet  "Dickens Village Ornaments" by Margaret & Margaret.  There are 5 patterns for little Victorian houses in the leaflet.  I adore house ornaments and end up buying a few each year it seems if I happen to see any while out Christmas shopping.  :)  Eventually I hope to do the other 4 house ornaments but it may take a while.  It's charted for DMC on 26-ct fabric but I used my own silk conversion since I wanted the ornaments a bit smaller.   Even with 36-ct fabric this turned out about 3.5" X 4". 

My lonely ornament tree finally has it's first ornament!


"Old Curiosity Shop" by Margaret & Margaret
36-ct Lakeside Vintage Basketweave with various silks


Now back to BRD "It's Cold Outside"...........
