SB little bag.

This is a SB kit I made this little bag for gift Christmas friend.

May Ornies (the final stage)

Better late than never:


A Debbie Mumm kit for Dimensions called Christmas Adornments.

I did not get much stitching done on the actual SAL weekend and once I did get some stitching done, I decided to just get it done because I can not stand having unfinished projects laying about. My rule of thumb is one project at a time.

My April and May Ornies

I've stitched ornaments on the SAL weekends in both April and May but I haven't had time to post them. I'm using motifs from Rosewood Manor's Red Threads Chart using 28 count white opalescent fabric and Waterlilies in Holiday.

April's ornie is to the left and

May's ornie is to the right. With a newborn in the house, I can only manage to stitch one tiny ornament each month, but I don't really mind (the snuggle time is well worth it). I will be stitching from this chart for the next few SAL's.

I think they look festive. I'll finish them as tiny pillow ornies (they are less than two inches in size) and either bead or use ribbon for the edges. If I do them again, I may play around with where the color changes occur, but for now, the randomness suits me.

May & June ornaments

Here is my May ornament:
Here is my June ornament:



It turned out a little large for a pillow, so it'll be a small wall hanging. Sadly all the sparkle is lost in my photo. Both of these are my own creations. (I have posted patterns on my blog (Cross Stitch for Life).

My May ornament

I want to show you my new ornie. It's a Byzantine Christmas Ornament of TW. (Fabric: Lugana, Thread: DMC, Beads: Mill Hill petite)

When I read in Focush on Finishing, the Tie-on pillow Class that KarenV gave us, I decided that I wanted a little pillow like that and here it is.
