I have to say that I have not made as much progress as I would have liked so far this month! I wanted to finish off my sister's ornament, which I finally did...and in case you're not sick of pictures of it yet, here's its final glory shot:
Then, I spent a bit more time on my January ornament than I had planned. I haven't gotten around to Shakespeare's Garden yet, but I will.
So on with the pictures! My EGA chapter is doing a stitch-along (SAL) of Drawn Thread's Toccata I, so I had to start that. I call this a Theme-a-licious project because I think that first motif there is vaguely flower-like. (Let's ignore the trailing threads for now...I may or may not have had to frog this motif. Twice.)
My tree ornament has been going slowly due to the 35-count fabric, but I did finish one of the three trees:
A little announcement: We have a new graphic! This should fit easily on the sidebar of your blog, if you'd like:
It's already up on the Theme-a-licious page, if you need it later. Remember to link directly to the graphic rather than uploading on your own; otherwise the animation won't run.
So are you relaxing in your garden, or do you feel like you're fighting off too many garden frogs?? Please add your link below (to your wrap-up post), and visit some other Themers if you can (everyone loves comments and encouragement!) Our next post will be on the 31st of January, when we'll wrap up Jardin January and talk about Figural February!

Really cute bird and looks wonderful.
I'd never get tired of seeing photos of your sister's ornament--your finish is amazing, Heather!!
The ornie really does look beautiful and good progress with the other two too!
Your ornament looks really great and I'm all for justification. I've joined in on TAL this year and I'm looking forward to everything. Thanks for sponsoring this again.
The ornament is beautiful! I am new to Theme-a-licious this year and think the themes look really fun. Thanks for hosting!
cute ornament. I've nothing that fits in the theme, not sure how to fit my finished Monkey and the bookmark that I started in with the theme.
My first ever Theme-a-licious check in. Aren't you proud of me? I'll try to work a little harder to make sure my next batch of progress completely counts towards the theme. :-)
And I completely forgot to say how much I adore the peyote border on that ornament. LOVE!!
This is my first Theme-a-licious and I actually made it on the 15th, by the skin of my teeth!
That is such a gorgeous ornament.
Love the bird ornament! My post is up, though I'm sure I've missed more flowers as they seem to appear in many of my projects
I just made my first theme-a-licious post! I have lots of WIPS, so hopefully I will be able to find something to stitch for each theme this year.
Hey -- this may be ridiculously expensive, but I saw this today and thought of you...works out to less than 30 cents a skein. :)

Heather - Your blog is loaded in for my Grow Your Blog party. You will need to prepare a special post for the party -- I will be by to meet you as soon as I can after the party starts.
