Stitching This Week

I've been doing a little stitching this week. Since the last time I posted...

The Santa Tree designed by Helga (c) Helga Mandl Designs, 2007) is finished. I think these are so adorable! This is stitched on 18ct Aida using 2 strands of DMC floss.

This is almost finished. It's one of the little ornament kits I've been stitching for Christmas to share with coworkers. Gotta stay busy on this track if they're to be done in time.

We finish work on Thursday, December 20 at 3:00 pm and go back on Wednesday, January 2, 2008. WooHoo! Can hardly wait!!

Wonderful Cross Stitch World

I am having so much fun with the wXSw yahoo group - yes, I'm off on another tangent. Thank you, Susan, for introducing me to it! As I said in a previous post, the wonderful cross stitch designer, Helga of Helga Mandl Designs is the host of this group, and she periodically provides her designs to members for stitch alongs! There are other designers, too. I'll become familiar with their names as we go along, I'm sure! Thank you so much, designers, for sharing your wonderful work with us!

Here are the latest couple of patterns that I have stitched. Will post details later when I can get in to Yahoo Groups!!

Aren't these elf socks cute? They're stitched on 14 ct with 2 strands DMC. I changed the colors a bit from the original, but the effect is the same, I think.

This Swirly Tree is stitched on 14 ct with 3 strands DMC. I think I strayed a bit from the pattern, but close enough ...
