Working on some three inch hoop patterns, having fun!

Here is our advent calendar! Think I will be done by the Dec. 1st? Hope so, wish me luck! (I was about 35 hours in at this point, spanning 2 months of stitching when the kids were asleep. Phew!)

I completed this today--October 3, 2011.

My own design, using a blackwork pattern and lots and lots of beads!

freehand embroidery in black cotton thread on natural linen. about 1.75 inches tall by 1.875 inches wide.

Found this piece that I started and nearly finished 1 1/2 years ago. It was a nice "get back to stitching after horrible arm pain" project.

A during photo of my Glass selection pattern. It was fun creating this one and the wine bottles pattern but I wish I had stitched in in a different colour now, never mind I might do another one when I get round to it.

Blackwork ATC stitched using a pattern found on the Blackwork Embroidery Archives. I liked this pattern because of the rosettes, but once it was stitched up the empty (white) space caught my attention even more (e.g. the 2 squarish-things in the center). The rosette by itself is in the purplework ATC.
