Another Pink Ornament

Stitched on 14ct aida, using pink DMC and Metallic gold. Mounted onto glittery pink felt and a pink braiding made, attached on with pink marble ceramic beads. Design is by Lesley Teare

Pink Bauble Ornament

I took part in a handmade ornament exchange where the main colour had to be pink. I chose this one, a freebie from Miriam and stitched it in two different pinks. I then added a little homemade cording, using both colours and attached it to the bauble itself.

Mounted it onto glittery pink felt, made some more cording and attached it with two marbled ceramic pink beads.

Blue Mitten Ornament

Another blue exchange ornament and this time I chose to stitch one half of the 3D mitten ornament from Marie-Chantal Lord of Macha Creations, which was in the Christmas issue of The Gift of Stitching.


Mounted onto two blue pieces of felt, cording made by me and finished off with a blue marbled ceramic bead at either end of the cording.

Humbug Ornament

I wanted to try a humbug after seeing the tutorial link on here for Nicki's blog. Well I think I made a good job of it. I designed the centre piece myself.

A Blue Tree

I took part in an ornament exchange. The main colour had to be blue, so I chose this design by Debbie Draper from The Gift of Stitching christmas issue and stitched it using a variegated floss from Croatia.

I then mounted it onto blue felt and added a snowflake button to finish it off. The cording hanger is made by me too :)


I'm not quite sure why it looks like there's a crease on the fabric, it certainly didn't have it before I took the photo.

You'll all notice that I'm posting under a new name (or maybe not), but that's because my other account has been suspended by those in charge as they have classed cross stitching to be spam. That was a month ago and I've still to receive any kind of reply from them to resolve the issue. Therefore I had no alternative but to move to wordpress and my blog is now: Fire Fly Dreams. I contacted Jennifer earlier today asking if I could come back as a 'different' person! Thankfully she sent me an invite and I'm now able to post once again.

My blog is one of the monthly featured blogs this month. It cheered me up no end, even though my blog hasn't had much stitching featured for a while.

Easter Ornament

I didn't realise that we could add in easter theme ornaments too, but while I was looking through, I saw a couple more, so decided to add this one I made for an exchange. Stitched with DMC on a piece of 28ct fabric.

My March Finish

Well I managed to sit through the second disc of the BBC 6 part series of Pride & Prejudice (Colin Firth as Mr Darcy) and stitched this last night.

Stitched on flecked aida, which the scan doesn't show, using DMC.

My February Ornament

Oh yes you can see that I am waaay behind with my ornaments.

Last night I wanted to stitch something quick, so chose this San Man Originals Design called Freeze and stitched it on flecked aida using a WDW. I'm pleased with how it has turned out.
