Lizzie Kate Tiny Tidings V

Sept 28/10

It has been a while since I have posted any pictures of the ornaments I have been working on so my apologies for such a big post!

Lizzie Kate is a big favourite of mine and I can not resist her ornaments because they are both festive and funny. All of the L*K's have been stitched on 28 count even weave from my odds and ends purchase at the LNS and stitched with what I call my mystery threads. I like playing around with the floss and fabric colours to see what *happens* in the end! These patterns are all from the Tiny Tidings series.

In other stitching news, I am also greatly enamoured with this series of kits available from Dimensions. I love birds and stamps so I bought two of each of the series and have been stitching like a mad person. There are two of each of these in my pile to be finished both for the back stitching and the actual ornament finishing:

I haven't posted to this blog for a long time, but since I admire every ornament when someone posts, I thought I'll try to post more often too :) Besides, Christmas is approaching, so I'm sure I'll be stitching more Christmas ornaments now :)

Another September ornament

I stitched this ornament to make use of the second jewelled key I purchased from a discount variety shop last month. There's no designer to credit for this design - it just grew as I stitched.

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.

Could the owner of the blog remove the chinese comments on my May 25th post? I put them in a translator and they seem to be porn advertisments. thanks
