Christmasbox and BBD piece.

Last week we got a lot of snow as you can see so it was good time for stitching. I finished my Christmas candy box from Country Cottage Needleworks design: Peppermint Lane. We love peppermint candies. Nowdays it's easy to buy them. So no Christmas without candycans. I stitched the design on 32 count Zweigart linen and finished it on the top of the box. Really happy with how it turns out.

These two tiny beauties came from my BBD exchangepartner Christina. The left one is from the design Autumn Stars, JCS halloween issue 2009. The scissorsfob is taken from Strawberry Garden, LF 18. Both are beaded around. Aren't they beautiful? I like them so thank you so much, Christina.

Thanks for visiting me and for you sweet comments!

A basket with Christmas gifts for my family.

Here is the basket with the little pincushions, which I stitched as gifts for me and my family.

This little angel in the clouds is from Heart in Hand. It's stitched on 36 count linen using the recommended threads except her dress. I used Raspberry parfait instead of Antique Rose because I think the coulour fits better with the linen.

These two pincushions are for my daughter and son in law because they got their two kittens before Christmas. Because the kittens are white I change the colour of the cats in white. This one is stitched with DMC threads using some beads and button. The chart was pusblished in JCS ornaments 2009

This cat is stitched with Whisper. For both works I used 36 count Zweigart linen. The charts are from Brittercup Designs.

Look at this cute chart from Angel Stitchin called Santa's Buddie from JCS ornaments 2009.

Stitched on Zweigart linen using GA Wool, Crescent Colour and DMC with some beads and button.

Diane Williams designs this chart especially for Unicef project. The money is being used to provide clean drinking water to 300 children in West Africa. The cushion is stitched on 36 count Zweigart linen using the recommended threads.

Now the basket is empty waiting for the next stitchingpieces. Have a nice sunday and thanks for your comments, I really appreciate them.

Christmas ornie's

I made this little pincushion for myself. The chart is from Stone and Thread. It's stitched on 32 count hand-dyed linen using the recommanded threads except for the star. It's stitched with metallic golden thread from Vaupel en Heilenbeck.

I send this ornie to my friend. She has already received it so I can show you. The chart is from Country Cottage Needleworks called The Nutcracker. I have only stitched a part of it on 36 count Edinburgh linen using DMC threads and some beads in the tree. It's cute isn't it?

Wish you all : A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

My Daughters Pillow

This is a lovely pillow I made for my daughter R. for Christmas. It is a pattern by Lizzy Kate and I have put some lovely charms on it. My daughter is crazy about it and keeps it near her to cheer herself up.
