Finished ‘Just Hatched’ egg ornament, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.
Here’s the finished gift I made for my niece who will turn 10 the day before Easter. Let me tell you, it’s not easy to make an egg shaped ornament, especially since I had to make it bigger as my piece was larger than the template. I added some chiffon peachy ribbon to the light green corded thread.

Right outside my front door were these sweet little crocus flowers:
And the forsythia bushes are a bit damp, but ready to open. We planted these from ‘slips’ of our moms’ bushes. Either yard has any left now.

Your omament turned out great. I bet your niece will love it.
I can’t believe you have forsythia ready to bloom already! You are in a much warmer climate than I am.
Beautiful finish, Dianne, I am sure your neice will love it.

Your niece and my Max are nearly birthday buddies, it appears, and only a year apart in age. I’d never noticed.
Love what you made her, and I’m sure she will, too!
I am going to be trying an egg-shaped ornament this week myself. I think yours turned out really great. Your niece will love it, I’m sure.
