Oh my! Christmas stitching.....

Love pirate Santa
have a few Xmas card designs stitched up but will take pics once they are all done up

I have a Santa head I haven't quite finished and started some small flat ornaments to hand out at work if I get enough done.Someday I am going to manage to have a working computer, camera , and stitcheries all in the same place. I've recruited my daughter (a scrapbooker) to help me find good mounting stuff for my flat ornaments. So, far I haven't found the item that I have in my head.

Just finished a biscornu for my Christmas tree, the design is from Cross Stitch collection, designed by Jo at Polstitches I think.
Stitched it on the 16 count gold flecked Aida I'm using for the wedding sampler, went really well with the green and red, only problem was the satin hearts, not really a stitch for Aida is it but they turned out ok.

Oooooh! Pretty biscornu!

I'm pretty much finished with this stocking for my mom. I just need to stitch the french knots and sew the backing on







I'll be starting this for my dad soon:



If I have time, I hope to make this for myself:

Sounds like we have a bit of Christmas in July with all ofthe stitching on this post!!!! Great work ladies!!!!

Love the Biscornu!! It's beautiful. The Christmas stocking are fantastic--especially love the Angel of Divinity one!!

Nice Christmas projects.

Love the Christmas stocking Zelda.

What a lovely biscornu!

And the stocking is gorgeous! I really like that angel one; it's going to be amazing stitched up!

All this lovely Christmas stitching going on - hopefully it will inspire me to get going on some of my cards.

Just lovbe those stockings, they are so gorgeous

Rose your stitching is great and I will look see if I have that stained glass window series amongst my stash. I know I did keep one lot.

I've stitched Christmas ornaments onto either plastic canvas or aida. Then I glue them to foam sheets, and attach a ribbon. Check my gallery (pages 4 & 5) and see if this might be the kind of mounting you're looking for.

Thanks Squirrel.
Beautiful biscornu and the stockings are just gorgeous. Well done both of you,
I did a couple of ornies and a Card. BUT I got a new chart today soooooo.....
Stitching an apple for a while.
