My creations center on book thongs (re: bookmarks), suncatchers, and necklaces. You can find my work on my etsy site at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DKBBCreations?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">~DKBB~ Creations</a>. Below is a sampling of my coloring with beads:<br />

It is supposed to be stitched on 28-count Jobelan lambswool, but I wanted a quick project for the holidays, so I opted to do it on 14-count perforated paper. I rather like the way it turned out. There are 3 small glass heart charms yet to add to it. I will have it mounted on a black mounting board and custom framed (I'll try to post a picture of the completed project).<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The book thongs are easy and quick to make, so they are a good balance to the large project of the stocking. Coloring with thread...and with beads. </div>

I had forgotten to take any of my projects with me, and I found this kit at my sister's. Over the course of a month, my Mom's health plummeted and she left this earth.<br />
<br />
So, here's "Home For Christmas" made in the loving memory of my Mom for my sister:<br />

It was a stressful time, but joyful in that I got to spend a lot of time with Mom before she left. To help me unwind each evening, I started on a little Mill Hill Buttons & Beads kit my sister had (thanks, Lynette!). This is "Home for Christmas."<br />

This may well wind up decorating a wrapped package next Christmas. Now it's back to the stocking project and to a long-overlooked aspen tree Mill Hill piece.</div>

I believe heart and soul in Santa Claus, and my holiday decor reflects that. When I found this Mill Hill Buttons & Beads Winter Series kit I just knew it was for me, and I will complete it before Christmas! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is a National Parks kit of the Teton Cathedral Group (8 5/8" x 12"). I used all the included DMC colors, but I did all the wildflowers in beads. I will frame it as soon as I figure out mat colors, frame color/style, etc. I am soooooo glad to be done with this!<br />

The photo was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park in April 2010, the cross stitch is from a Fireside kit purchased at The Stitchin' Den in Estes Park, CO.<br />
