Danielle's Tree Ornament

Danielle's Tree Ornament by M Designs has been a UFO (unfinished object) for a couple of years now.  When turned on it's side you can see that it spells out my daughter's name DANIELLE.  I actually pulled it out and finished the stitching and beading this month.  She is quite excited about me finally finishing it!  She picked out everything from the fabric, floss, and beads, to the pink heart on top.  This is stitched over 1 on Sassy's Fabbys 25 ct Valentine Pink lugana with hand dyed silk from Vikki Clayton called Enchantress.  I used frosted Mill Hill Beads (#62037) and it's topped with a Mill Hill pink heart Glass Treasure (#12100). 

Ornament Exchange

I stitched these 2 ornaments for an ornament exchange for my friend Julie.  Hope is one of the Lizzie Kate 12 Blessings of Christmas and Christmas Joy is by Angel Stitchin from the JCS 2006 Ornament Issue.

This is the back of the Christmas Joy ornament.

This is the beautiful ornament that Julie stitched for me.  It's Glory to God by Little House Needleworks.  Julie stitched it over one and it is just gorgeous!  This design is from the JCS 2008 Ornament issue.

Lizzie Kate Snow Zone

I stitched Snow Zone from Lizzie Kate Tiny Tidings XII.  I used both DMC and WDW floss on the recommended 32 ct natural Belfast linen.  Instead of stitching the floating snowflakes I added 2 JABCO snowflake buttons to it.  I used the pompom for the hat from the accessory kit and actually also used the Stitch-A-Gift pillow it is pictured in. This is going to be a Christmas present for my mom.  And sadly yes the snow in the background of this picture outside my window is real.
