Love the birdie and nice beading too - I have been looking at Mill Hill kits

The ornament looks lovely and the beading is so very cute ! The colours go nicely together in the kit.

Never thought I was that in to beading but having seen your beautiful work I am now quite tempted.

Thank you all!

I finished the Wish ornament last weekend, (will get a pic up soon) but have NOT been able to bring myself to do the backstitching...

[maisasofia]

Great to hear about your finish ! wishing you the best of luck to begin the backstitching; it does appear a little overwhelming on the chart, yeah...? :') I've put in a couple of hours on my ornament but have only manage to complete most of one colour...

So happy you have finished the main stitching, and wishing you the best of luck with the backstitching!!

Finished!


I really had to put myself in auto-pilot to tackle this backstitching. I'm waiting for fabric to start my HAED so I figured I would go ahead and work on this. It took me two evenings, a couple hours each so not too bad. Like usual, once I get started with backstitching, I don't mind it too much but the getting started part always gets me. Also, I did try a new technique for the first time...Couching. It was only needed for the word 'Holiday' and admittedly I was aprehensive to try it so I backstitched it instead. It just didn't look god so I it and attempted couching. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was!
I apparently forgot how I was able to get such nice French knots on my Owl project because these turned out less than desirable. Oh well, they are what they are

Lovely finish! I absolutely love the series that ornament comes from, and even have the entire set to do myself... some day (read: probably never )
