August ornament

My inspiration for this ornament was the little jewelled key I found on my travels.

Aug 4/10

I am very enamored with Joan Elliott these days, having recently purchased two of her books. Her designs are cute without being too cutesy and her sayings are funny and witty. This design comes from "Cross Stitch Wit and Wisdom". I stitched it on 28 count Lugana with threads from my mystery box so the colours are somewhat similar but not really as I look at the book photo once or twice to get the gist of the colour scheme before I match up colours according to what I have available.

I came back to add this photo which is also a Joan Elliott. Ornament stitching season is underway at my house!

July ornament

The teddy bear chart is a freebie on the DMC website.

This ornament's design is from Vermillion's Alphabet Soup leaflet (Leisure Arts, 2005). It's stitched on 28 count jobelan.

Biscornu

This is not the christmas theme, but I have tried to sew a biscornu together with pearls, and after that was not so difficult, as I had thought, I am dreaming of christmas decorations with pearls in gold, red , green, and silver or blue, and lots more.....

Mar 2/10

Watching the Olympic Games for hours on end gave me lots of stitching time as well! Here are the results:

"Snow Merry" by Homespun Elegance was stitched on a mystery piece of 14 count Aida that I found in my pile of stuff and stitched with mystery threads.

 "Peace" by Blackbird Designs was stitched on 14 count Aida with mystery threads during the men's curling gold medal game which I watched with a handful of fellow curlers at the local curling club.

Both designs are from JCS 2009 Ornament edition.

The designs on the right are from Vee and Co. while the "Winter" design is from Michaels, the craft supply store. Thanks to Vonna at The Twisted Stitcher for her beautiful tutorials. I used her tutorial on flatfolds to finish the "Winter" ornament.
