A few Christmas Decorations + Pins

Well I needed some ornaments to hang in our living room window so I hooked a few and backed them with felt.  These are hooked, the pins are done with RussianPunch needle, on pattern designed by Sybil Mercer (Mom) :-)...


PINS - about 3inches in size - Santa


PIN for Sandy - modeled after our Cooper :) this was before it was glued and cut-out...
Sandy runs and manages a dog school - k9montessori.com so I figured it was suitable :)

Delangley Crest - Crowns for a pillow

This may not be as spectacular as the other pillows but still fun!  16x16" 4 + 5 cuts
The gold trim really brings out the gold in the hooking...

After Chantry - Lighthouse is done - You can walk out to fish now :-)

All done :-) The Sumac nicely stand out done with a velour like yarn Mom had in her stash.
  Snapped in natural light, the flash takes away the sky colours.

Well I have rocks started, needs the wall and some more water, a few final touches to the sumac and that door bugs me!
Happy Hooking all...
