Here's the ninth (and last) in the series of ornaments from Heart in Hand's leaflet called Woodland Christmas.

The entire ornament is stitched with DMC floss, but I did play with the colors again. Instead of a brown house, I painted mine light green. And instead of stitching the berries on the door wreath with colonial knots, I used a red seed beads.

For the background, I chose pretty two-toned green fabric. The design reminds me of waves.

Others in the series:
*   Tree
*   Noel
*   Bird
*   Poinsettia
*   Star
*   Snowman
*   Candle
*   Reindeer
