July Fish Ornament

TADA - Kissing Fish
I finally found a fish to stitch.
I saw this clip art and converted it to x stitch.
I really like it and you can play more with colors but maybe next time.
Neway on to teapot for September.

September: Hospitality



This teapot pattern, as well as the pattern for the letters, comes from Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. Several of the patterns I plan to use come from this book. The ornament is stitched on 14-count Darice white plastic canvas.

This is my first SAL. I only recently learned of the tradition of bride’s tree ornaments and I’m making this set as a gift. I’ve enjoyed the variety of patterns that others have selected for their work, and thought it would be fun to share mine as well.

August ornament


Here is my August "Rose" ornament. The design is from Cer.Pi.Ca. The title of this design is "Cuscino di Rose (Rose pillow)". I stitched on 16ct blue wing aida with my chosen DMC threads.

Happy Stitching!

May, June, July...

I got behind on my ornaments, so June & July are small ones so I could catch up - also because I have some finishing ideas that required them to be small.

May: Hummingbird (from a little kit)



June: Cherries (just winged this one)



July: Fish (freebie found on this blog)
I really need to start my finishing soon :D

October Pinecone


My pinecone is from a PS leaflet...if memory serves, it's called Holiday Harvest. I haven't had a lot of stitcing time lately so it felt great to finish this.

August Rose



Finally finished my rose (bud)...found this in my stash and I don't remember who designed it.
It was a freebie I found on the web
It looked like a rose to me and I really liked the colors and design.
So if anyone knows the designer, please feel free to mention it.
I also found the fish I want to stitch for July. That one was a toughy for me.
Stay tuned for my July ornament.

June -- Fruit

Her is my June ornie . I chose a bunch of grapes from a Dimension Leaflet that I have had for a long time. A lot of detail but I enjoyed stitching it.  I just need to make it into an ornie.

May -- Bird's Nest

Here is my Bird's Nest for May.  It is a small from one of the Dimension leaflets that I have.  It was fun to stitch -- I just need to finish it into an ornie.

August Rose


Here's my August rose ornament. It's a section of a larger freebie by Kirsten Schmidt (Kissy Kross) called Grow Some Love. I thought it was a perfect choice for this theme.

My Fish


It took me a while to find/decide on a fish but I did and just finished it. It's a freebie from the blog http://www.xstitchhappy.com/ . I thought it was especially appropriate for me to stitch because we had a koi pond at our house before this one. I miss watching those fish (they'd eat out of my hand) and listening to the waterfall.


I used DMC variations for the main orange, the greens, and the yellow.
