More Decorations and a free chart

I have just managed to finish stitching a few more Christmas ornaments.  The template above was from one of Cath Kidsons books, based on her dog Stanley.

These two stitched hearts came in a kit with the current issue of The World of Cross Stitching.  I just added some coloured felt to the white felt hearts provided. 

A cute reindeer card from a Cross Stitcher kit included with issue 259. 

I made this Christmas Airedale Terrier snow globe a while ago but have just got around to photographing it.  I am including the chart in case anyone else would like to make one.

Wilberforce is all ready for Christmas, although he isn't sure about these antlers.  Whatever you are doing, I hope you have a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas.

love Shirley

 

Union Jack Pincushion

I wanted a Union Jack pincushion but didn't have a chart so I decided to make my own - here is the result. I first stitched it on 14 count Aida using Designs for the Needle Thread and for the pincushion I used 10 count canvas with some Anchor tapisserie wool from my stash. I am very pleased with the result and thought I would share the chart.

I have reproduced it quite large here so if you right click and then on Save Picture as, you should be able to save a copy to your own computer. Happy stitching.
