Horse


I've been searching for a horse pattern that looks real and finally found this.
It uses 13 different colors and because some of the colors look so much alike, sometimes I got a little confused, but it was all worth the effort.

Basket of Roses


I LOVE ROSES!! This ornament only uses 5 colors. It is a simple but sweet ornament.
Maybe I'll plant yellow and orange roses next summer for my garden. This is one of the biggest ornaments I've made this year so far.

Gift Bow


I love BOWS. I don't like shopping and I don't shop much for clothes, but when I do and see shirts with bows or tie-in to make a bow, I can't help but grabbing it and take it home. This bow is so cute that I want to have it on my tree.

Motorcycle


I tried this pattern few months ago but I failed. This time, I succeeded.
I don't even know how to ride a motorcycle, but this pattern is just too cute.

Mario


I made this ornament for my son. He requested this ornament sometime ago, but I forgot it until recently. Finally I finished it yesterday. It uses 13 different colors of delica seed beads. Mario got lost inside my bag for a day, but I just found him hiding.

Chinese Lantern


I found this pattern about 9 months ago (designed by Sigrid Wynne-Evans) but kept putting it off making it. Finally I decided to make this Chinese lantern last night. This is my third try because I used wrong stitch the first time and the second time I miscalculated the beads so the character was wrong. But, third time is the charm.

This ornament is very meaningful to me, to remind me to pray.

I made the red praying hands for my parents.

High-heeled shoe


A lot of women think that there is is no such thing as having too many shoes. I'm not like that.
As long as I have 2 brown and 2 black shoes for the Summer and 2 brown and 2 black boots for the Winter, I'm happy. Kind of boring, but those colors work with every outfit. Here is the dress up high-heeled shoe for lots of women out there..

Pilgrim Jack and Jill


I found this pilgrim Jack and Jill pattern online and really enjoyed making the pair.
It looks like they are communicating. Jill is offering something to Jack and Jack is ready to receive it. I like the outfit that both of them are wearing.
I found the perfect bluish grey delica seed beads for their clothing at bead bazaar two days ago.

Pink Sweater


I really like the color combination of pink and grey ever since I was a little girl.
I remember that I had pink and grey polo shirts, which was my favorite.
So, I'm using pink and grey color for this sweater. I feel warm already by just looking at this sweater ornament.

Mouse on the Sled


This mouse on the sled ornament is so cute. It is using a leaf as a sled.
And he dresses up with Santa's hat, blue pants and matching blue scarf.
It makes me smile.

Robin Hood


I remember when I was a little girl I enjoyed reading the story of Robin Hood.
I also watched Robin Hood movies. Two nights ago, I watched the new Robin Hood movie played by Russell Crowe and I ended up finding the Robin Hood pattern and made it last night.
My son also just started taking archery class from last week, so it turns out to be a unique ornament.

Flying Eagle


An eagle's wings are long and broad, making them effective for soaring. He looks so graceful with wings spread apart. Where I work, by the river, sometimes I see eagles hunt fish from the river.This pattern reminds me of them.
