Well, I have a number of finishes to show to you tonight. It's hard to decide what to begin with, maybe with my favorite designer, Just Nan.
I finished stitching "Peace" by Just Nan and already had it framed. I only forgot to take some pictures of the sampler before framing.
Another design which is called "Christmas Rose" was finished a little while ago but if you look at the pictures attentively, you will notice that these two designs have the same roses and snowflakes - they are good companions. So now they are together:
* * * * * * * And I also want to show you some of my new designs which I finished a couple of days ago. I continued working on "Christmas Ornaments"and created two more designs which were made into a box top and an Icicle ornament.
"Love" Box Top:
"LOVE" Icicle ornament -it's a little too hard to take good pictures of these Icicles because of their shape. Here is best of what I could do:
And a picture of the whole "Christmas Ornaments" theme:
And two more ornaments to show. I made these "Snowflake" ornaments using the same design for them but stitched them on different colors of the fabric. If you remember I did the same with one of my autumn designs and everybody noted how the background color change the look of the design. Here is the Blue Snowflake ornament:
And here is the White Snowflake ornament :
Both Snowflake ornaments:
Which of the snowflakes looks better? I really do not know, they are like kids for me - I love them both. :-))

I was asked if biscornus are my favorite smalls.
- Well, I like them but they are not my favorites. I will, probably, make my next post about my favorite smalls. :-)
Stay tuned!
Thank you everyone for interesting comments, special thank you for the new readers who commented on my works. I really appreciate this.
Happy stitching to everyone!

I'm with Dany on the subject of metallic fibers. I would prefer to special order Kreinik or Rainbow Gallery than to use DMC. When I purchase a chart with DMC metallic listed I always substitute one of the others. I will chose Kreinik or Rainbow Gallery sometimes based solely on color or texture, but even if I like the color of the DMC better I simply to do like working with it. But this is just my opinion.
All is fantastic!
All your finishes are gorgeous. I once stitched Christmas Rose by JN, too, it's a wonderful ornament.
When it comes to metallic fibers I just take the ones I have on hand. Over the years I've got a small collection of metallic fibers of different brands and as I don't use them very often I still have enough for a couple of ornaments.
Оленька, половину не поняла. К сожалению, не имею возможности заняться он-лайн переводом. Но попробую ответить на то, что мне понятно. Я вообще не любитель гламура, тоись всяческого блеска. Вернее, бисер люблю, но не металлик. Стараюсь исключить его из дизайна. Хоть и безусловно согласна, что с ним некоторые дизайны смотряться исключительно! Особенно рождественские! Но вот не люблю им шить, не люблю :о(((. Но если "из песни слов не выбросить", то есть металлик ДОЛЖЕН БЫТЬ, то только Kreinik. Но чем тоньше, тем лучше. DMC & Anchor выбросила весь, что был в запасах после того, как попробовала несколько раз Kreinik. В общем, это непростой вопрос, думаю, сколько людей, столько и мнений.
Вернусь к нормальному общению числа 15-го...с наступающим Новым Годом! Счастья, благополучия и всего самого доброго! Целую.
just stunning! all things are so beautiful, bravo!
Оль! Невероятно всё-всё-всё красиво! И семплер, и все остальное - шикарное и очень праздничное!!! Особенно мне понравился узор на шкатулке и сама шкатулка , и снежинки твои бесподобны!!! SUPER!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to address my question! I really appreciate it, and it means a lot to me.
In the end it always comes down to desired effect and what you can get right?
Everything is just so beautiful!!!!
I want to thank everyone who took time and participated in our discussion on metallics.
I quite agree with Dany that the choice of the metallics mainly depends on the desired effect and of course, on personal preferences.
I like Brigitte's point of view too. For stitching ornaments, just for a few stitches, I would use the metallic from my stash or not use it at all (Nataliya's point of view)- I would never special order the metallics for such projects.
I see the task of the designer to show ways of embellishing the project.
The main thing is to enjoy what we are doing.
Happy Stitching!
hello, I wandred onto your blog, and I must say, I love it !
I was never into making ornaments, but I really love your use of coulors, there is something so different and refreshing about them.....
I'll make sure I wander over here more often !
Everything looks so beautiful! I love the snowflakes the most, I think. They are very pretty!
Gorgeous stitching as always. I especially love your snowflakes and the octagon shape you used~stunning!
Oooh,,I LOVE IT ALL!!! Beautiful pieces Olga:) I see more things I will have to order from you soon!
All is gorgeous!
I "Christmas ornament", sono belli per i colori tipici natalizi e per la forma insolita, mentre gli "Snowflake ornament" sono freschi e meno tradizionalisti!
Mi piacciono entrambi!!!
Baci Marta
Bravo pour toutes ces belles broderies de Noël ! J'aime beaucoup les flocons.

Gorgeous work, as always! I love both snowflakes - the one on the blue fabric reminds me of Wedgwood.
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2009!!
I came across you blog searching for biscornus and I am totally in love with your designs. I used to do quite a lot of cross stitch but too a break from it for years but want to start again now. Do you sell your designs anywhere? Thanks for sharing your creations.

Peace is just beautiful Olga! Love the Christmas Roses ornament, where is that design from? As ever your own designs are just beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous finish Olga!
Your designs are beautiful and to be honest, I don't think I could decide which of the blues either :o)
Wonderful all of them
