I love her choice of colours and fabrics too. <br /><br />I will definitely be sharing pics of the finished ornaments :)Bugs and Fisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973019615558057522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-26605609742580735172014-08-28T16:03:06.561+01:002014-08-28T16:03:06.561+01:00Alicia's Christmas ornament designs are lovely...Alicia's Christmas ornament designs are lovely aren't they? Actually, so is everything she makes. I might buy a pattern but not the kit as the pennies won't stretch. Manu also does lovely work - I just visited her blog yesterday after she had a mention in hoop-la magazine. I hope you will show us some of the ornaments when you have stitched them.<br /><br />Embroidery is my first love, but I keep getting side tacked. French knots are lovely and very versatile.<br /><br />I have a little black cat, so I have a soft spot for them. Yours looks lovely and peaceful all curled up.<br />SaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-55525371074088634452014-08-28T10:03:19.386+01:002014-08-28T10:03:19.386+01:00Manu - her work is so lovely, isn't it?

Thanks for the French knot tip :)<br /><br />Silly Little Sheep - I usually get those thoughts in early October so August Xmas crafting = a new urge for me. <br /><br />I have always had the two kitties, but the black one is a little grumpy and is usually off in a corner asleep somewhere rather than trying to "assist" me with whatever I'm trying to get done so she makes it into fewer photos :) Bugs and Fisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973019615558057522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-9802195701097274822014-08-28T09:02:44.007+01:002014-08-28T09:02:44.007+01:00I get Christmas crafty thoughts during summer almo...I get Christmas crafty thoughts during summer almost every year! <br />Kitties look happy, since when do you have two?? :) I thoght you only had one :)Silly Little Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11871866600035558598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-35864431405100074002014-08-27T18:05:20.252+01:002014-08-27T18:05:20.252+01:00Alicia Paulson has the most charming Christmas orn...Alicia Paulson has the most charming Christmas ornaments! I am totally in love with her works (which I've discovered a while ago through your blog :) so Thank you Laura!)<br />French knots are so versatile, they can be snowflakes, tiny flowers, eyes, dots on a toadstool's cap... I use them a lot in my works, it is probably the first embroidery stitch I've learned and while practicing on scraps of felt I've discovered that the secret lies all in how tightly you pull the thread :)<br /><br />P.s. your kitties are adorable!Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490675041041793807noreply@blogger.com
