Handmade Nordic Christmas 'Baubles'

...as if we are now 4 days into December!!

This week, I have launched a couple of new cross stitch patterns that are perfect for anyone feeling the need for some crafty festive fun! Christmas is creeping round the corner fast now so it's a good job that - for the accomplished stitcher - these alternative embroidery hoop 'baubles' only take a couple of hours to make... You can buy the patterns here.

Nordic Star Mini Cross Stitch Pattern - £2

Both the Nordic Star and Nordic Stripe designs are inspired by this season's Scandinavian trend. I think that the Red & White Gingham Ribbon works great with this style and also adds a simple yet effective finishing touch. I've used mini 3" Embroidery Hoops which are available from Hobbycraft.
