Almost all the white bells are stitched in White Christmas (only have 3 more sets at the top to stitch -- woo hoo!). Once this is done, I can start the cutting.
The Old European Sampler has been gathering dust so I pulled it out and got some done on it also.
The next few pics are a biscornu and some ornies that have been stitched for some time and needed to be "finished". The biscornu is called Tumbling Spools (I think). I forget the designer's name but it was offered in an EGA magazine issue from 2010 or maybe 2009 (hmmmm ... memory like a steel trap).
I decided I wanted to add the 4 buttons on the underside corners to match the spools. Who knew that I, a lover of pink, didn't have a single pink button?? After a quick visit to JoAnn's, I do now.
These 3 Christmas ornies were from the 2011 Crazy Challenge also. I finished the actual cross stitching in 2011 but never made them into ornaments until now. As of now, I'm thinking I may remove the red beads from the sugar shocked reindeer's cording. I'm not sure I like it.
And even though this isn't part of WIPocalypse (unless you count the "finishing" part) I want to include this lovely stitched by Linda B as an exchange from the Fair and Square group:
Hmmm .... can you tell I've added "finishing" to my WIPocalypse list? When the world ends, I want to get all my little stitchings "finished".
What a "full" post!! Lots of pretty things. Love the Old European Sampler - the colors are so beautiful together. And look what you did with my F & S exchange! Just love those colors and definitely need to make one for me. Finishing is part of the stitching adventure, but I have to admit I'd get a failing grade in that part.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the finishes!!
ReplyDeleteYour wips are coming along great!
lots of wonderful progress - your biscornu is simply gorgeous
ReplyDeleteGreat finishing - love that little biscornu. I know how you feel about finishing, it is just something that I keep putting aside.
