First, the next three Advent Ornaments:

Christmas Lights (can anyone find a mistake in the model?)

Wreath

Stockings

Then a biscornu that uses Celtic knotwork to evoke an Iris:

The designs on the front and back are different, and I used Dinky Dyes silk to stitch this.

And finally, the new dragon!!!

This is “Dragon Tattoo”, which is stylized like a tattoo, with the banner over the heart reading “Love 2 Stitch”. There are also scissors behind the heart and the dragon is holding a needle which has stitched several X’s in the heart!

I’ve had a few stitchers emailing me to get some more details about the Advent ornaments. So here are the answers:
1. There will be 24 ornaments total (so that it works like a real Advent calendar).
2. As of 2/20/2010, the first 15 ornaments are available. Your local shop can contact me about ordering them.
3. 16-18 will be available in April, 19-21 will be available in July and 22-24 will be available in October.
4. Not all distributors have all the charts in the series yet, but local shops can get all available ones directly from me.

So now it is time to pack and get ready for a road trip. I’ll be tweeting from the road (when I’m not driving), so follow me at: http://twitter.com/crosseyedkat
