Worked on the Nut Cracker Stitch group from the new Noodle and Lou Christmas Girl Ornaments.........far from being finished but having fun with these......
these little curly things on her tu tu are called Drizzle stitches........these take a little bit of time because you take the thread out of the needle and depending on how long you want the drizzles you count how ever many times around the needle you want........I did 15, 18 and the long ones have 25 wraps.......but look how fun they are on this particular application!!!!
I used a lot of my wool thread on these because it looked a little more wintery and fuzzy........also some fun metallic threads ( they are a pain but really add a lot of texture)! Some velvet as always...............
And this little guy took a little time to do since it is so tiny.........but it absolutely makes this girl pop! I still have a way to go with all the little details..........hope to finish these up soon o I can enjoy them whether I use them as small pillows, wall hanging or ornaments......we will see and I will take some photos when I do.
Anyway just thought I would share what I did yesterday on a super lazy sunday........slow stitching!!!!
Happy Monday and have a great week to start this December 2021..................
Beautiful as always! Love! The details are amazing!

You never ceased to amaze me with your talents. I do like the Drizzle stitch and it does add to her TU TU! Looks like you have your work cut out for you. Relaxing and brings out your creativity. Enjoy Stitching!
