Cross Stitch and other thread, yarn arts

[Kathryn]

As most of you know I have been heavily into cross stitching and for Christmas I have been busy over the last few months making cross stitch Christmas gifts... plus I have one picture reframed for myself that I was able to save from the house fire we had in 2019 plus a few more finishes.. anyway  I thought I would post them here as well as if other people have any other crafts they want to post, feel free.

First are the Christmas gifts I handed out this week.  First picture is one I did for my sister, I did the next one two times for different sisters, the next one was for my daughter and I took just the girl's face and put it on the last ornament for a kind neighbour next door who helped us out a lot over the years.  I found those neat hangers from Temu.  The last ornament is Chih tzu for Christmas that I did for myself because we have a cute little Chih tzu name Tinka.

This is a recent cross stitch that I finished this year and got framed.. I love the little girl so much and I live on an island so I love beaches.

this is a picture I completed and had framed for my granddaughter's wedding next summer.

This is a cross stitch with lots of bead work that I got reframed because of the fire which ruined the old frame and the glass had broken as well from the heat but luckily the picture was saved.  It's neat seeing them all in one place.

Beautiful! I don't have enough patience for cross stitch.What I do is crochet and knit for my family and social projects.

[Kathryn]

Oh how beautiful eblank.     I used to do a lot of knitting but I've developed arthritis in my wrists and now I can't knit without being sore.

Thank you! I do hope to have some more years to knit and crochet without pain.This is what I made for my grandson.

Oh my gawd.. that is so precious... I wish I had little grandkids but mine are adults now... my granddaughter is getting married this year so maybe I'll have some greats sometime soon.
