Shepherds Watched.

Here is Shepherds watched by Shepherds Bush, my ornie for this months Stitch-along. The design appeared in the 2002 issue of Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments. I haven't stitched any SB designs for a while so it has been nice to spend some time working on this piece. Stitched with the called for fibres on an anonymous piece of 32 count.

Icy Snowflake

Here is my ornament for April. Another fun stitch that was quick to do. It is Icy Snowflake, a "Tiny Treasured Diamond" kit by Mill Hill. This was my first time with one of these kits and I really enjoyed working it.

The other piece is Lady Scarlet's Secret garden, which I finished over the weekend (sorry, this is the best picture of the ornie I could get and she was in it too).

All is Calm

Here is my effort for this month - All is calm (designed by Sam Sarah Design Studio/Just Another Button Company) from the 2003 issue of Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornamants. It was a pretty quick stitch so I ended up doing the finishing this weekend too.

All was not calm this morning as I tried to interpret the finishing instructions and failed repeatedly. So the finishing has been fudged a bit. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out in the end.
