Very traditional red and green with gold beads made in size 30 DMC Cebeliá. Another one copied from an ornament made years ago. This one is most probably not an original, but an adaptation of a doily or snowflake. With all the books I've got, I've been too lazy to sit down and go through them all to discover which ones I used to make all the old ornaments. If you recognize this pattern, please let me know. (This is a not so subtle attempt to get someone else to go through all those pattern books!)

Gift Ornament Eight
This one is made with red and white DMC size 80 with silver seed beads. Once again, this is a copy of one I made many years ago. I have no idea if the pattern is original or an adaptation of a published pattern. If you recognize it, leave me a comment.

Gift Ornament Seven
Lots of frilly picots in blue variegated hand quilting thread backed with white cotton thread, gold beads, and gold-headed pins. It's a little busy, but fits the ornament well. I have no idea where this pattern came from. I copied it from an ornament I made years ago and don't remember if I made it up or adapted it from a doily center. If you recognize it, leave me a comment so I can give attribution.
