January Ornie

This is my first ornament finished in 2009. A Mill Hill design worked on perforated paper with thread and lots of beads. It is called 'Down the Chimney' - fun to stitch and quite quick.

One that has been in my stash for ages so a good feeling to know there is one less project waiting in the cupboard

December Christmas Photos

Although this decoration was finished in time for Christmas I had missed getting a photo to send. The design is from the Germany publication Rico book no.108 Winter Fairytale and I purchased the cute matching wooden hanger and bookat Spinning Jenny's in England. Since returning from my UK holiday I have seen the book and hanger here in Melbourne. It was a quick project working on the linen band and using DMC thread.

Mill Hill Winter Greetings Series

Although I got rather behind with my Christmas stitching I have managed to finish another Mill Hill Christmas Kit called 'Peace' from their 2008 release. I did not stitch the dove as per the chart but added a dove charm which I prefer
