The start of my second set.

I may have mentioned that I am doing a second set for my nephew's wedding next year. Here are the first two for him.

For January:

Title: Home for Christmas (only part of design) by Brightneedle - in the JCS magazine ornament issue 2005 (I stitched the tree differently than how they had it in the pattern.)
Fabric: 28 ct. ivory linen
Threads used: Sampler, WDW & DMC






For February:

Title: Couer (only part of design) freebie
Fabric: 28 ct. Opalescent
Thread used: Warratah by Dinky Dyes

One house down...

... two in process ... What can I say? This year I like houses. lol

JBW Designs from one of the JCS ornie issues (1999, I think)

in DMCs (not the ones the pattern called for) on white opalescent lugana

one of the in processes:

Little House Needleworks -- JCS ornie issue 2005
I changed the colors and I'm using Vicki Clayton's Hand Dyed silks on a scrap of probably Country French latte linen

Gosh I'm having fun on this!

Janaina´s January Ornament

Here it is!:o)
Name: Home for Christmas
Designed by: Ann Pettit of Brightneedle
From: Just Cross Stitch 2005 Special Christmas Issue-page 33
Stitched on 30ct raw linen

It was supposed to be stitched on a different counting fabric, with The Gentle Art Sampler Threads, The gentle Art Simply Shaker Sampler and Weeks Dyw Works over dyed floss, but as it´s impossible to find this brand here, I made it all in Anchor.Sorted out the colors according to my personal taste, included the hologram stars,and removed the little snowflake at the right side of the design so now I think it´s no more an Ann Pettit design, but an Ann+Janaina design! Lol... :o) Goingo to stitch a few more ornaments in the same fabric so I can have many finishings at the same time.

Hugs to all!
