Mini Nativity

I used Delica beads and the pattern is from Thread A Bead.  The figure are 1.34"x 0.8". I have yet to decide how to display them.

I had made a 3-D knitted set and perforated paper stand up set. Or better said I collect patterns of Nativity sets. All of these are figurines. I have a pattern book for macrame, twisted paper kits, crochet, and 3-D cross stitch. I have also start collecting pattern using delica from Beaded Balloons I have three of the patterns and yet to buy the beads.

I would like to make Nativity sets using different method of stitching or craft method.

Flower Ball 12-19-2012

Stitch some more on the piece but not in the last few days.

These are 1.5 inches high by 1 inch wide. "Ribbon Candy Ornament" by Calico Crossroads.

I got a brace instead of a boot not as heavy. I can use the basement stairs now. I can get to mine stitching supplies. I still won't be going up and down as many time before. Ankle still causing pain when I over use so still won't be moving much. Arthritis not nice.

Stitching and Beading

Mine 300th post

These are the things I am stitching and beading.

Traditional Japanese Embroidery “Flower Ball”.

Kissing Pillows

Bead-it-Forward Square

The two following project from Thread a Bead a place I buy and download pattern.

I will be start beading Nativity Charms there are twelve of them size 1.34” x .80”

Also Festive Balls Christmas Ornament almost finish have to wait until I can find the bigger beads, I know where they are I think not enough to tell someone to find them in the basement without someone bring box after box up. Mine mobility is limited right now because wearing a walking boot and using a walker because of arthritis in ankle also keep weight off I was told. I have yet to go crazy find out on the Dec. 13 hope by them able to use the ankle more and it only been about a week.

I change the pattern some less panels. Each will be their ornament.

This is what I use to bead from a recliner. It came with a cushion attach to the bottom fill with bean bag stuff.
