Stitching Sundays 24 (on Monday, again!)

 Well, I have managed to totally confuse myself (not difficult to do!)with Stitching Sundays this week.  As I would be out on Sunday, I did my stitching on Saturday but then didn't have the chance to write the post until now. Anyway, moving quickly on...
Here's the next three decorations - another little bird and two more snowflakes.  I have one more snowflake to do and then I am thinking that some pom pom snowball decorations might be just the thing I need to fill up the seasonal tree.  I used back stitch and split stitch on these decorations and I am pleased with the way they have turned out.  I do like this combination of colours - normally, bright colours seem to appeal most, but these blues, greys and whites seem to be working well for me too.

  1. Love your decorations. Blue, white and silver is one of my favourite colour combinations for flower arranging.

    1. Thanks, cookie. Blue, white and silver sounds lovely for flower arranging. Have you posted photos of your arrangements in the past? I'll have to have a look!

    1. Thanks, Mii Stitch. The birds are my favourites too (but I have to whisper that in case the snowflakes feel left out!). Once the seasonal tree has all its decorations created, I'll post a photo.

    1. Thanks, Anne. I could indeed create Easter chicks - like these but in pastel colours, perhaps? Last year, I made flowers and eggs in felt with embroidery, but a few little birds is a very good idea! Thanks for that...

    1. Thanks, Chrissie. I think there are still a few more weeks of Winter to come - I don't think Winter has quite finished with us all yet! I still have to make the pom pom decorations too...

    1. Thanks, Joy. The tree still looks a bit sparse at the moment, but then, winter trees do, don't they?
      Pom poms will help to fill it up I think.

    1. Thank, Mirjam. I am enjoying making these little decorations and really like the colours too (even though I would normally be drawn to brighter colours).
