I have finished two Prairie Schooler Ornaments. One to give away and one to keep. I also finished my Moon Witch that was designed by the late Lisa Roswell aka Primitive Needle.

 

 I cross stitch this little ornament years ago. Today I added a tatted edge with sparkly beads. Added a hanger and it is ready for the tree. The designer of the pattern is Pamela Byrd Smith “ The Prairie Schooler”. Single thread over one thread.

  The beautiful shuttles from Rita Richmond.

    My back is in pain right now so there is not a lot I can do at the moment.  My son Ryan says it is old lady back pain. I can cross stitch so I am working on making an Christmas ornaments designed by Satsuma Street Jody Rice.  I love her kits! Everything you need is included to make the ornament , beads, thread, chart, perforated paper and sequins and all the designs are cute. In another older post you can see orange cat one which I love. It turned out so pretty. Here is the Santa one in the picture.

There are also Nutcracker designs too. You can find them on Etsy. What else is great about the kits is ….they are only $14.00!!!

Ready to make Bobbin Lace Ornaments

 My bobbins are wound and ready to make some Christmas ornaments.

 This is what I will be working on for now. One is my Blue Corn Cafe’ pullover sweater designed by Alice Starmore. The pattern is from her OOP booklet called “American Portraits”. I started this sweater last Spring but when the weather got too warm I put my needles away. Now that the cooler weather is back out comes my knitting needles. I knit in the evening so I can stay awake.

   During the day I will be working on my bobbin lace and make a few Christmas ornaments starting with ornaments designed by Louise West. You can order them directly from her.  These ornaments have spangles so there will be some sparkle.

   Eventually I will be making a few cross stitch ornaments too. My brother lives in Florida and I have found a couple Flamingo ornaments. I have seen some Christmas ornament kits by Satsuma Street that I want to make.

   I am never bored!!
