Christmas in March?

I've joined the Monthly Christmas Ornament SAL at the Stitch and Stash forum, totally missed out on Jan and Feb, but I'm hoping I should still have about a branchful by Christmas!
Here is my ornament for March. This is "Jingle, Sparkle, Joy", a complimentary design from Midsummer Night Designs
It is stitched on raw linen using Weeks Dye Works threads in Juniper, Garnet, Pecan, Chestnut and Onyx, and finished with a little jingle bell and bow, which came off one of last years Lindt chocolate reindeer.
I also finished a little something yesterday that I stitched for Gaynor, who won my blogoversary draw (I hadn't forgotten, I'm just slow!). No pictures of that until Gaynor receives it though.

Edited to add:
Apparently the link above no longer works. The chart can now be found on the Midsummer Night Designs blog here
