This was the first time I'd ever done blackwork and really enjoyed making this decoration. I found blackwork even more addictive than cross stitch so I'm sure I will be making more decorations soon!

Blackwork Christmas Tree Decoration
My non-cardmaking item this week is a blackwork Christmas decoration. Whilst looking in a local charity shop I found a small blackwork kit that had been a cover gift with a magazine and was being sold for 75p. The frame was part of a 'pre-loved' set of frames I bought a while ago and the ribbon I had previously snipped from inside a jumper. Thrifty crafting at its best!

Beautiful work Kath, it will look smashing on your tree
This is really pretty Kath and the blackwork is so elegant inside the frame. I have done quite a lot of blackwork in the past and I did a large cat which my aunt had in a frame on her bedroom wall for many years. I know what you mean, it can be quite addictive. x
Hi Kath, Now that is lovely. I could imagine it in all different colours on the tree.
Hope you have had a nice weekend. Sue
This is very pretty indeed x
A pretty little decoration and would look lovely on your tree Kath. I love Charity shops and it's great to recycle items. Hugs, Carol S.xxx
