I have made up Kell's "Bah Humbug" design as a Christmas tree ornament.
It's a lovely design to work but I think that the red blackwork border gets a little lost. I did it on 14 ct.
Thanks for sharing this Kell, it is smashing.

Midge, that's brilliant!! definitely a clever way to use the beads too!! I love it and may end up stealing that idea!! Great stitching!!

Like the beaded finish!

Very cute!!!!!

Oh wow, Midge! You stitched that beautifully! I hope you don't mind if I pinch your photo to post in the Gallery of Stitches on the blog.

No not at all!
If you want the jpeg, I can send it via e-mail.

Brilliant work everyone.

Lovely work everyone!

Great finishes!

Finished my last gift last night. This is for my son's girlfriend and she is a Nemo fan so I found a small kit on 123 Stitch and ordered it.

The kit looks like this

I modified it so that it would be something for Christmas. I added a package and Merry Christmas, I also changed the seaweed to make it into an underwater Christmas tree with lights.

And this is the rest of her gift

SO many beautiful projects! Midge, love your interpretation of the Blah Humbug!
And Rose, what a clever idea to change the Nemo pattern into a Christmas-one. Love the crocheted shawl as well.

Rose, those changes are inspired and inspiring, and the shawl is beautiful !

Wow Rose....great stitching and I adore the changes!!

Nemo is cute, Rose, and the shawl is beautiful!

midge and rose great projects

Great work! Love the Nemo idea and the beading.

With all this snow (3 feet and still falling), of course I have to stay indoors and stitch

So here are 3 more cards, for several friends in the same family. I was pleased to find similar patterns along the same theme, and used the same paper for background.

oh I just love those birds Wandatoo!! Very cute designs and made up great in the cards!!! Where did you find the designs?? if I may be nosy.

I love the way you've finished these !

The robin is from the Victorian designs someone here sent me (I've done several from those) and the two cardinals are from a Dimensions pamphlet (#314) called Holiday Mumms, by designer Debbie Mumm. I bought it several years ago, so not sure if it's still around.
