Further from that I've been working on some ornaments to donate to a friends charity event. Today in a few hours I finished this 2009 Just Nan pattern "over the top" tin. Here's the stitching (I am going to finish it this weekend):
Finally. Why you're all here. Lol.
A new giveaway. As always rules are:

Good stitching!

Looking good, Mel! I really like the look of the metallic thread on the tin top & the Christmas beads are coming along nicely.

Oh wow - I love the new project you are working on, I can't imagine how hard it would be working with tiny beads - you have much more patience than I do!!

ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in your giveaway! It's just starting to get cold (for us) here in Texas.
ReplyDeleteWow that beading project looks really involved and the ornament is pretty. Please include me in the giveaway. mskitten09@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteBoth projects look good. I haven't tried the beading yet. Not even on cross stitch. But that is something I plan on trying in the new year. Please enter me into your giveaway. I am a follower and have been for awhile. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
ReplyDeleteI love your beading. That is something I want to learn. I took a class in Peyote stitch but I seem to be too uncoordinated & it was hard. Maybe someday.

How pretty!! I just started cross stitching and know nothing about beading. As I improve cross stitching I'll have to look into this beading :)

Some forms of beading can be quicker than cross stitching. I got a bead loom for Christmas and the patterns come up really fast.
