Look what were playing in the surf when we went down to the beach on Wednesday! I thought they may have been orcas, but my friend who knows more about these things than I do says they are Atlantic white sided dolphins. Whatever they are, they are gorgeous.
You are probably aware that Capt. Jean-Luc Picard is one of my very favourite Captains. Definitely Number One in my All Time Top Five Captains list.
Captains Sparrow,

I digress.
I discovered a cross stitch chart for an adorable mini Jean-Luc by Black Lupin on Deviant Art, and had to stitch him right away, but what to do with him then? I thought of putting "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" underneath and making a coaster, in fact I may stitch him again and do just that, but then inspiration struck, and I added the little insignia and collar pips, some snowflakes and a caption, and made a little snowglobe ornament, backed with the fabric shown and edged in gold ric rac, because gold ric rac just screams Star Trek.
I can hang him on my increasingly geeky Christmas tree with my TARDIS, Golden Snitch, and LoKitty ornaments.
If you check the link you'll find the entire crew. Lt. Worf is particularly stinking cute, and I shall be making one of him just as soon as I learn how to write Happy Christmas in Klingon

Enjoy!
What a fantastic stitch! I just love Jean Luc's expression! And what a treat to see dolphins. Sounds like you had an awesome week. :)
brilliant lol Christine.
How lovely to see the dolphins, I bet it made your day. Well Sparrow and Harkness (sounds like a department store) are definitely worth a 2nd and 3rd look lol.
You may never speak to me again when I tell you I have never seen Star Trek so dont know the others.
With the blue water, looks like summer!!
Really cute ornament finish!!
