The Needlepoint Heart Locket

Rittenhouse just posted this heart they finished as a locket.  It was stitched by a nine year old and is the most unique finished heart I've seen all year.

The Gnome Santa Updated

Beth's started one of Janet Zigler Casey's fun Santa designs.

I think it is fun to see how the various elements are made.  Here's the beard underway.

More beard!

UPDATE:  Brenda's stitching Gnome Santa, too.

Brenda has the nose, hat and beard stitched.  Now for the couching along the beard lines and the stump work holly leaf!

And he's done!

Brenda is working the Holly Berry Santa next.

If you like Santas, explore Janet Z. Casey's website.  If you aren't a counted person, Danji sells the designs as painted canvases with Janet's instructions.
