This is the Little By Little ornament from the 2004 JCS ornament issue stitched on a mystery piece of 35ct linen with the recommended DMC threads.
The chart called for some backstitching on the bird and on one of the ribbons and packages. I have decided that it looks great without it.
I hope to do the finishing on this before the end of the month.
Now for some stash diving to find next months ornament.
Sweet Dreams!

Looks like it's unanimous - no backstitching needed.
It looks wonderful just as it is... I wouldn't bother with the backstitching. I've always loved this design.

Good for you! Now you can move on to finishing. :)
I love it! Can't find fault with a design that has a bird on it : )
I agree Chris - unless it is absolutely essential - ditch the backstitch! ;0)
Great finish! Congrats!
Very cute finish, Chris--you're doing so well keeping up with your monthly ornaments!!
Very cute. I find the thought of backstitch is worse than the actual doing of the backstitch lol
I agree! It looks great, Chris - can't wait to see how you finish it.
A sweet little ornament! I love it just the way it is. :)
I agree, no backstitching necessary!
really cute.
Oh, how cute! Great job. I definitely agree--no backstitching needed!
Too cute!!! And I agree...looks great without the BS!
Cute little finish Chris! Definitely doesn't need the backstitching!
I agree with you, it totally looks great without it! Would you be at all interested in making 2013 the year of Jane Rees and us providing each other some motivation? I know, months away, but she's already been a WIP for almost 6 years for me.
Chris,
What a cute pattern. You have a wonderful finish. Congrats!
Hi Chris! I think your ornament is beautiful just as it is also. I totally hate the backstitching on my cross stitched projects. It makes me nuts! Your work is always so lovely...Have a fun weekend! :)
Love the ornament just the way it is!
That is a real cutie pie! Your tree is going to be (even more) beautiful.
It's adorable, Chris!
That made me laugh!! Yes, backstitching is just torture. As always, love what you're doing. I'm stitching but not enough to post about :(
Lovely ornament, congratulations
I'm with you on backstitching! Your ornament is lovely. I need to get a move on with mine!
I really dislike backstitching and often think is spoils the look of a design.
