January Ornament for 2008 Ornament Challenge

And this one was really a challenge. I miscounted somewhere and ended up being one stitch out all down the middle but some how it has turned out ok. It is the Sweetheart Tree Noel Christmas Bellpull done on 18ct ivory aida. I started on linen but threw the towel in as I was having too much trouble counting.

However I've started February's Ornament which is "Noel in the Tree" from M Designs on beige 32ct linen and I'm loving it. The beads look wonderful and are much easier to do now that I've bought beading needles (duh!)

Christmas Stitching 2007

The pink ornament above was received from SueK in the "Xers" group Christmas Ornament exchange. It is absolutely stunning work with beading and metallic threads. I will certainly treasure it.
