It looks so simple in its elegance, but I know it was a lot of stitching - just beautiful! The patterned fabric is fun, too.

ugh…lol…it was a lot of boring stitching but I broke it up by using different greens…I thought the original pattern that used only one green would be too flat anyway…I might make some removable decorations for it next year if I can figure out how to keep them on…that I why I left the back undone…or, maybe not…lol

I love it plain, but you could use stuff glued to stud earring blanks for ornaments. Loop garland on the front and loosely baste it from the back to remove easily. Or wrap around the earrings.

It’s absolutely gorgeous!
That is a genius idea!

You are so clever! I backed the fabric after I was done with fusible fleece to give it a bit of substance and to make it less sheer…so it would stand up to earring backs!
I also like it plain, but I don’t have room in my craft room for a tree so I thought this would work out on my wall as my tiny tree!

That is so pretty!
Thanks! It was easy to do because I just used the stab stitch…it called for a split stitch but I just could not see well enough to split the threads so I just willy-nillied it…you know I can do the stab stitch best…lol

Oooooh, magnets! Back the hoop with metal, like the lid from a cookie or candy tin, and glue decorations to tiny magnets.
Upgrade: mount the hoop on top of a shallow tin (like altoids), and store the decorations inside.

Another great idea! I have a fruitcake tin lid that might fit perfectly!

Love the black and white, gorgeous crow!
Just designed a new cross stitch, the letter p for my GD. I need a hand project for tv binging. It’s small and I’ll post when it starts looking like something.
Announcement time!
The winner for December 2020 is…@MightyMitochondria! Congrats!
The theme for January 2021 is…Let’s Go on a Trip!
It has been months since we have been able to travel but we can still see new and exotic places in our stitching projects. Stitch up anywhere you would like to travel. It could be another country, the bottom of the sea or up into space. Have fun with this theme, it can be anything you like-it’s your trip (no guilt trips are allowed!)
The same rules as always apply! Go pack those bags!

Congrats!
Trippin’ sounds like a fun theme, but will the anti-drug people be uncomfortable with it?
Oh, waaaaaait…

I wasn’t able to participate the last few months of last year, but I love January’s theme! There is one place on my bucket list that I REALLY want to go to and I think that is what I will probably stitch up.
