I stitched up this cute little snowflake last week. I still have a few beads to add to the middle and the outside points, but that shouldn’t take too long.
This was stitched on 28-count blue evenweave I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I used one strand of Kreinik blending filament with one strand of DMC floss so it sparkles! I also have some very cute white and silver backing fabric picked out.
This is such a cute and easy pattern that I thought I should make another. Here is the one I finished in March of this year.
I have a few people on my Christmas list that I want to gift ornaments to, so I thought this would make an excellent choice as it stitches up so quick.
I used a different color ground fabric for this one. It is 28-count Natural evenweave. This is what I have so far.
I hope to be done with this one this weekend! And then I might try to stitch one more before Christmas! As the time nears to actually “finish” these stitched pieces into ornaments, I am getting super nervous. I want to use The Twister Stitcher’s flat ornament directions. I’m sure I can manage it, but it just scares me that I might screw it up and then I have ruined my stitched piece.
Sadly, no progress has been made on The Legend Of The Dogwood Tree.
This is where I left it last month and this is where it remians today.
I have been stitching, just not on this. I
have some Christmas things I have been concentrating on and that means this project has fallen by the wayside.
I would say that maybe next month would be better, but who am I kidding – the closer Christmas gets the less I will be working on anything.
