It is a TAST stitch of SharonB which inspired me for those
fir trees - crossed buttonhole stitch, the small "trees"
are made with wheatear stitch.
Then I had the idea to make a christmas ornament. It is small.
Less than 4 cm
What about making more? I could use them as pendants for
little presents.
Yes, good for Christmas. The gingerbread house is a photo
from a journal.
Then I increased my output. And please look at the cross-stitch
snowflakes on the reverse side -
DH put them on our wreath of Advent
Next step - filling the sachets with Christmas cookies -
DH was baking - instead of renovating the house, ha!
I gave them all away .....
Enjoy Sunday - it is the 3. Advent - three candles are burning.
Beautiful idea - and delicious!
ReplyDeleteyour trees look great Anneliese such a good way to use the stitch. Loving the decorations very creative. Have you used the very large button kits I wonder to make them. Good to read DH has been baking for you too
ReplyDeleteBaking - instead of renovating the house ... makes me smile. You both work together, delicious cookies and your stiched ornaments, a beautiful selfmade present.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Birgit
