The black linen was challenging, but I like the effect. The reindeer appears to be floating across a dark moonlit night sky.
I continue with Christmas spirit until New Year's Eve. That's my excuse for this post anyway.
I found a street that had not one, not two, but three outdoor trees decorated with ginormous Christmas ornaments.
The first tree was a modest effort.
As was the second tree - I do like the big red light bulb ornament.
The third tree though...oh the third tree!
I would imagine these folks have been collecting out sized Christmas decorations for several years.
Every color and shape and design - hung in profusion!
Very pretty even on a gray day.
I quite liked the result.
Such a statement.

I love the reindeer on black!!!
Beautiful trees. I thik I would leave them up all year. lol lol Yes I would be that crazy lady with Christmas tree's up all the time.
How brave you are to stitch on black, it does look good though. I just love those giant ornaments, they look great on the outdoor trees - very different.
Love your finish! Love those trees!! I have some big ornaments I put on my porch - can't wait for my tree to be big enough for ornaments!! We planted a maple 5 years ago and it is not big enough yet!
Very nice PS ornament, well done!
I love your reindeer on black - just stunning!
Those ornaments - wow, they are gorgeous and fun. I would imagine they would have to be on quite securely with our occasional windy weather!
Nice finish! And the ornament trees -- wow! Such fun! I really love how they look!
Yes, the reindeer look good on black!
The ornaments on the trees are amazing, I hope they're not breakable!
Love the cute reindeer, especially on the black.
Those giant ornaments are really popular here. Seems that just about every other home has a tree decorated with them.
Lovely reindeer!
I love the ornament trees too :)
I love things stitched on black and your reindeer is just wonderful, Beth!
Such fun trees--have never seen anything like that around here! Not sure they would do real well with all the snow :)
Love the reindeer. He's a cutie. :)
I love the ornaments! Something different than lights and yet just as wonderful and pretty.
