This is the pillow that I've mentioned before. I thought I was finished and took a photo, only to discover a mistake. After a visit from the old froggy it's finished and here it is. The kit is by Pine Mountain and I added the name and date. It really is cute!
A little biscornu I stitched for myself. Believe me, the photo doesn't do justice to the colors. It was a freebie from whom I don't remember. We get lots of hummingbirds here,so it really had to be stitched. It's on mint green linen and the colors remind me of a birthday cake.
This little goody is a wedding gift. I get lots of shower/wedding invitations (church organist???). I could run down to the local BB&B, but for really special people I've wanted to do something special. I found this pattern on Creative Poppy and ordered it. This was my first attempt. I decided to do it in the bride's wedding colors, which were eggplant and pewter. Happy, happy, joy, joy! Try matching those colors, but I think it came out okay. On the back side-which was my bright idea?-are their initials and wedding date. Next go around will be easier. I promise myself not to agonize so much.....
The pattern is "Biscornu Mariage" by Marie-Anne Rethoret-Melin. It really was fun to stitch. I wanted it a little larger, so I used 25 count Joblen. The threads were Anchor 900 and Belle Soir Eggplant (go figure!). I used Mill House Beads and a silver heart button I found at Hobby Lobby.
I've ordered a pattern for a bisornu for a baby boy but it's not here yet. I hope the same designer-or someone else-does one for a girl.
That's all folks. I'm seriously considering going back to bed. Good night, all!

The hummingbird biscornu is from www.xstitchhappy.com - click on her freebies on the right. Sadly, Sharon has not been back blogging for quite some time.
Your biscornu's are gorgeous. I've never made one before. Are they hard to assemble?
I hope you're feeling much better soon!
Hope the mouth is feeling better soon. I love your biscornus and the pillow. I, too, love hummingbirds and your stitching is just lovely.
