Number 2

A highly modified ornament from Cherished Stitches - stitched with #4 Braid instead of floss, left off the border and added crystals. I do like the way it turned out though.

New Ornament!

I haven't stitched in ages, but finally finished an ornament. This is from the 2008 JCS issues from the Cat's Whisker's Studio. I stitched the ornament in Vicky Clayton's Deep Ocean and Delica beads instead of the recommended fibres.

Two stitched

Just completed the flamingo today.  It is a Claire Crompton design.  And the mitten I completed on Wednesday which is a Ursula Michael design.   They were both easy and quick, but also very cute and pretty too. In the pattern for the mitten there were beads, but I am not adding those.   I know who I will give them to for Christmas!  :)
