This is probably my favorite of the ornaments. I love the little poinsettia leaves, so cleverly knitted and sewn onto the felt backing. The gold sequins are the crowning touch. I also like the shape of the background felt.

Got a new book for myself today (in 2005): a compilation of seven Perry Mason novels in one volume, by Erle Stanley Gardner. For hours of reading pleasure, Erle Stanley Gardner rates as my favorite author of all.
