Ornaments











I completed these last night, but now cannot decide whether to finish as a small wallhanging or as ornaments....need to think about this.
These are one design by Helga Mandl from GOSM Issue 22, November 2007. I really like her designs.
Thanks, Deborah

Three Christmas trees


These are the final 2 diamond-puff ornaments for a family of four children and their young cousin, and a door-hanger ornament I stitched to use up the odd-shaped scraps of Aida left after stitching the diamond puffs.

This is my April Ornament, a christmas Elf. I found the pattern in the "Cross stitch crazy" magazin, and I wanted to try it. It is on Plastic Canvas, so the Arms and legs are stitched separatly. It is hold together with the seedbead, which I sewn on it.

Some ornies

Sorry that the lighting is so bad in these photos! The colours are way off because it is a very grey and rainy day here, but I was so excited to get this project of mine done that I could not wait to photograph them!
The ornaments are double sided.
Side 1:

Side 2:

They are stitched on 14 count Aida. I can not remember the exact name for this particular Aida, but it has silver strands woven into it which give the ornaments a snowy effect. The threads are from my miscellaneous box. Using my leftover threads was kind of fun because no two designs are stitched in exactly the same colours.
