Doesn't look like I've been busy, since I haven't posted since September! I have been, though. Work (such an icky word, spit, spit) has been more work than usual, and I've been making Christmas gifts. Those I can't show -- don't want to let the cat out of the bag, you see. However, these two were birthday gifts for a friend who decorates her Christmas tree all in white. The first one is my lock-chain ornament cover with a different sort of bottom. Held up it looks a bit like a hot-air balloon. I was concerned about white on white, so I added gold beads. This one was made from 1 strand of Gutermann white cotton sewing thread and 1 strand of Signature polyester machine embroidery thread. After finishing I thought maybe it was too much color for her white tree. The second one is my first original ornament design. Wanting the design to stand out, I used size 20 Cebelia for the second one and added a very few silver beads. She likes them. I think they need COLOR!!

The ornaments are beautiful! But, I agree with you... they'd be so much prettier with color... blue maybe? ; )
Your ornaments are lovely, although it is hard to see with the white on white, but I'll bet they're spectacular! I think when someone isn't posting it usually means they have another life, LOL! :)
They're beautiful Marty!
Yeah...I've missed your posts....
Very pretty, I agree about needing color though :-)
