This was started on 4 December 2022, finished on 13 December 2022, and then fully finished on 14 December 2022, making it a lovely quick December stitch.
I stitched these on tan perforated paper and decided to adapt the birds to make them feel a little more British. I chose to stitch a robin and a finch, selecting my own colours for the designs. I really enjoyed making these little changes and giving the pieces a more personal feel.

These were such fun little pieces to stitch and finish. I love how the perforated paper works for small ornaments, and the added ribbons and trims make them feel extra festive.
