Two little trees

Hello friends,

Wednesday evening I managed to put in the last stitches on my second little tree. I stitched only two very small trees although I had pulled out many charts with Christmas trees - but there's still time until Christmas.

Now I have to decide if I want to use them for Christmas cards or turn them into ornaments.

Sept: Joy and Peace

Hi Everyone, This is my first post on this site, but I have enjoyed watching all the finishes. This month my ornament is stitched thought not finished yet. This ornament is by Little House Needleworks.

What next? Angel or Nativity, undecided at the moment.

Until next time,

Cathy's September Ornament

Here it is the last day of the month and I'm finally posting my September ornament.  I chose another Mill Hill kit called Golden Tannenbaum that I had in my stash.

The hanger on this one is made from leftover gold beads. 

Metallic Christmas Tree ornament!

Hello Xmas SALers!

I finally managed to finish my September ornament in the nick of time!

I used a chart designed by Maria Diaz from a freebie leaflet from The World of Cross Stitching issue 183. Despite my initial troubles finding a suitable chart for September, I am very pleased with the way this ornament turned out in the end:)

The leaflet actually has a design of an angel too...maybe I'll stitch that one for October...??

Cheryl's September Tree Ornament

I stitched this sweet little tree from a free pattern.  Sadly, the designers name was not attached to the pattern & when I went back to where I printed it - the page was gone.  So, if anyone recognizes it ... let me know and I will add the info.

The ornament is backed with a green and gold fabric.  I added gold beads and a gold wired ribbon bow to finish.

I have made a start

I have made a start but it is so little. I saw this photo and tracked back to a JBW Design.
When I started I just found some cloth and don't know the size/scale. I thought it would be cute for a needle case for a Xmas gift.
When I started stitching it showed up really well. The word JOY is clear.

My sparkly Christmas tree!

Hello Xmas SALers!

The theme for this month caused me some trouble. Although I absolutely love Christmas trees and Xmas gifts, I couldn't find a single chart that I fancied stitching. I even considered giving this month's theme a miss - can you imagine?!! Thankfully, in the end I found a little leaflet of charts from The World of Cross Stitching magazine, and in it was a simple design of a Xmas tree using a few cross stitches and some blackwork. What makes the design special is the fact that the whole tree is stitched with metallics:)

In the original chart gold and red metallic threads were used, but since I didn't have any suitable gold threads I decided to switch the gold for green metallics instead. I hoped it would work since the Xmas tree normally is green anyway lol.

Today I made a start:

 

Since it is stitched with DMC metallics it is quite a slow process. I can only stitch with short threads so it's lots of starts and stops... However, I am quite pleased with my process and it actually looks quite nice and sparkly:) Most of all, I am very pleased that I, at last, found an ornament to stitch for this month!

Have fun with all your Xmas ornaments!
