A couple of ornaments

Just finished up these 2 ornies this week. The SB one took a little time - it sure had a lot of different threads in it! The Blackbird one, OTOH took me a day & a half.  They're both from the 2009 JCS ornament edition.

Your ornaments look great! Both of these are on my to-stitch list and seeing yours has prompted me to get them kitted up ready for the weekend.

I saw in your post below about contacting BBD regarding the thread query. I contacted them to clarify something in their latest book and although I did get a reply, it was only a partial one. I was promised a follow-up the next day, but I'm still waiting a week later (and their blog has been updated a few times since) :\
