I had a really productive crafting weekend, which led to a really lazy Monday (sorry for the lack of post). But anyway, I knocked a few items off my to-do list. And added several more.

Embroidered Christmas Ornament
It’s finished! I can now properly show off the embroidery module for my Bernina Aurora 44oQE.
