Update 2 of Tree of Delight

The cotton stitch was easy, but theres quite a lot of metallic stitches, which were annoying :L





This one was kinda challenging, but I liked stitching it.






And this one, while the cross-stitching was easy to do and the metallic stitches were only 8, the backstitch was not fun at all. And I really really hate doing French knots for eyes because I couldnt make two same knots. As you can see, my Santa looks like a demented Santa because of his eyes :Q

Nice finishes!   You could replace the french knots with petite seed beads.I think the metallic threads really make these little stitched pieces perfect.

Absolutely beautiful!Yes the metallic threads can be a pain in the butt... I find that using smaller lengths of thread is best.But they do set the piece off and make it stunning :)I agree with LouAnna I am in love with seed beads instead of using french knots :)

I feel you with the french knots!!I hate them too and I have to look up how to do them all the time.I may try the beads the next time if its right for the project!

Love what youve got done so far :)
