Needleroll received from Gwen

Hi all, I received my needleroll from Gwen today. It's beautiful. You'll have to take my word for it cause the camera is packed for my Cape Cod trip tomorrow. I'll take photos when I return, or if Gwen is reading this, maybe she would post her photo. See ya when I return.

Christmas Ornament

This is a Glory Bee pattern designed by Nancy Boyarsky featured in the Just Cross Stitch 2008 Christmas Ornaments Magazine on page 54. I decided to add beads to give it a little sparkle, I used the colours given in the pattern using DMC threads 816, 890 and 725 and I stitched it on 32 count Belfast Linen in Light Mocha.
