what I did while away: click for bigger..

4 small ornaments stitched on plastic canvas, added a jump ring and threaded onto a ribbon and attached ribbon to a card..will be giving this as a gift.

plastic canvas santa and gingerbread couple

another santa

and I did a small picture of hello kitty but can't find the pic atm.
it's actually 2 hello kitty, holding hands..one in pink and one in blue..
going to make a card out of it..perfect for sisters or friends or mother/daughter.
I'll photo that when done too.

I really like the "tis the season" one, great combination of design and fabric! (what is the fabric?)

I got it as a stash hand me down..lol..i'm not sure..but its 14ct and it is soooo stiff..like potato sack type material..
not sure what it is though..

don't much like working on it..cause it's so stiff..but it goes well w/ that pattern

finished another today..
i got bit by the bug.

this one i changed a lot! i used beads instead of white pearl cotton for the snowflake..
and i have NO idea how to do a turkey stitch for the snowball in her hand..
and the thought of stitching then cutting makes my skin crawl..maybe i'll practice on scrap fabric..so I used metallic sparkly white for the snow ball..and I left off the
letters "snow time" by her feet. I stitched on 14ct rose aida instead of the 32ct it calls for so the letters looked all crazy so i frogged them.

I plan on doing the boy one today too..also making the same changes.

Really good. I like the bead-snowflakes. What is a turkey stitch?

coffee_freak · Post by **coffee_freak** » Sat Nov 01, 2008 6:24 pm

i have been searching the net for a how to and only have been more confused..
the end result is to end up w/ loops which you cut to make a pom pom sorta thing..

plz someone help us! lol
