I have finished the cute little mask ornament I stitched on the way to New Orleans a couple of weeks ago! It was a simple little mask, in Mardi Gras colors, but I tried to "fancy it up" with finishing and trims.
This little mask was stitched on a scrap of Aida cloth and I used some purple/gold metallic fabric, and fleur de lis fabric in Mardi Gras colors. I added purple/gold metallic trim beside the stitching.
I used gold wired ribbon for the hanger. I had bought a little packet of Mardi Gras buttons at Hancock's several weeks ago. These two little purple glitter mask buttons were in there, and I thought they were perfect to attach the ribbon! Doesn't it look cute beside my Voodoo Doll?!?!
This was a really fun ornament, and looks festive on the tree!
Thank you for stopping by and please come back soon! Now I will have to take down BOTH the Mardi Gras and Valentine's trees! Then it will be time for St. Patrick's Day tree, so come check it out!

That is beautiful, Frances! Must look for a Mardi Gras cross stitch pattern - love that little mask.
Lots of glitz and glamour on that ornie - perfect for Mardi Gras.

Hi Frances,
here I am - and I am so impressed.
Now that I not only spied at, but also read your post, I learned that there will be a St. Patricks Day-tree? I am so curious about how it will look.
And I just read in the above comment, that you are a no-reply commenter? I answered your comment - so unfortunately you will not get my mail ...
Have a nice weekend!
Hilda
