Autumn 2017 Small Ornament Kits This year's 3 x3 ornament-sized designs are here too! Sometimes, they companion the larger kits, sometimes not. All are presented with their bit of 14ct perforated paper, all the necessary DMC flosses and beads and usually a Mill Hill Treasure as a garnishment. They work well for magnets, and small ornaments... in the olden days, the kits came with pin backs, so you could wear them. They do make stunning pins, and I am here to tell you that they launder well! (Over the years I have accidentally washed dozens of them! You'd think that paper would disintegrate, but with all your stitching on there, they hold up like iron!) Happy Camper is just plain DARLING!!! Boo reminds me of the early designs -- very cute. Sally Scarecrow is fun and colorful -- not scary fall. Let Go refers to trees letting go of their leaves... but it might be good advice for someone you know! Be Scary IS a scary Halloween design... and we think that Autumn Gold is KILLER! It is stunning!
EERIE, ELLIS & ESSENCE This year's trio of Halloween designs that finish approx 4 inches in size, we have trio of happy ghosts! What makes them kind of fun are the 'textures' on their 'gowns.' (I don't know that ghosts actually 'wear anything at all!') Anyway, stitched on 14ct perforated paper with DMC and garnished with Mill Hill seed beads, they've simply added some long stitches in here instead of all X's. Very fun! Complete kits of paper, floss, beads, needle... time to get busy!
Spring Bouquet Bead Kits for 2017 The small magnet/ornament-sized bead kits have arrived! Cute and colorful, this is something like our 25th year for these little guys -- just like their larger kits.

Blue Pansy Butterfly companions the miniature monarch we already have, Lotus and Trellis Eggs go with the bunny, sheep, daffodil and ladybug eggs we already have, the snail and lizard are really fun - they match last seasons funky fish and sea turtle... and the little seagull is just very traditional and really beach-y!

Chalkboard Quartet These are different for Mill Hill - and promise to be really fun to stitch! Their classic kits -- these are worked in 28ct Gumnetal linen with DMC flosses. I don't think there are too many beads in any of them... just the backstitches and straight stitches that make up the charm of the hand-drawn chalk-art look. Finishing approx 5 x 5 or 5 x 7... give them a try!
Calavera Sugar Skulls This is a set of small bead kits -- just like all of Mill Hill's other smaller kits -- a set of 6 Sugar Skulls! Super bright in color, each finishes approx 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch in size... complete kits, you get the 14ct perforated paper, all the flosses and beads, and a tiny charm embellishment.

Little Monsters! Oh my gosh, these are the CUTEST!!!!! The next set of paper kits in the Mill Hill Trilogy series, these are complete kits to make these cuties! Finishing approx 3 x 4 inches each, they're worked on 14ct perforated paper and adorned with glass beads here and there. So darn cute -- you need to stitch them for the colorful little monsters in your life! Even though the kits come with the paper, consider switching that out for fabric -- you'll have room to add something like Lindy's Scary Room! -- which would make a darling bedroom door sign!
The Autumn Mini-Kits for 2106 Joining the other million of these little kits produced by Mill Hill... we have this year's collection of Fall. Always fun to stitch, these little kits contain the pattern, 14ct perforated paper, all the necessary floss and Mill glass beads and Treasures. They are one of the best stitching bargains around because of all the stuff you get in them, and the fact that they are CUTE when they're finished! They even have a little magnet in there... so you can cling them to your fridge or filing cabinet. Pumpkin Jack is TWO SIDED! -- Very Retro or very geometric. And, the elephant and donkey are very timely this year!!! We'll assume that if you order the 'wrong party,' it's really not for you, and rather a gift for a 'friend at work!' Isn't that little American Pie CUTE?
Mini Spring Bouquet Mill Hill Bead Kits from Mill Hill Here are the little guys that make such cute plant pokes and ornaments. Complete smaller kits full of everything you need the finished pieces measure approx 2 x 3. The dragonfly and ladybug eggs companion the 4 like them already published -- rabbit, chick, lamb and sheep. Always cute and colorful, they make pretty magnets and gosh if you stitch them on soft linen you can stuff them for pin cushions as well.
Winter Holiday Kits Here are the mini-ornament kits for this season! Always offered as small kits of the 14ct paper, all the flosses and beads, each has a tiny bit of magnet material inside the kit -- so if you don't want more ornaments -- they'll look cute on your filing cabinet or fridge! As Christmas Tree ornaments, these do look GREAT on your tree because the lights glisten off the beads, and since they weigh next to nothing, you can hang them on outside branches and they SHOW UP! The Pinecone is really cool -- lots of texture on this one, and the Gingerbread Cottage is SO CUTE!!! We have a larger version of it from a few years ago -- but this one is 3-inches in size!!!
Mill Hill Celtic Santas Here is a new set of Paper Santas!!! Joining the 17-ish OTHER Annual sets... these little guys are popular to stitch to commemorate trips you've taken, stories you've read, and places you still want to go see!

(They go through the laundry beautifully -- I have accidentally washed several!!) Always fun!!!
Mill Hill Owlets! Mill Hill has some new mini-kits -- presenting six of the cutest owls!!! I think they're in Easter Eggs... but they don't look Easter-y... so we think they'll be fun and colorful to decorate all year long. Offered in the small bead kit format of 14ct perforated paper, flosses and bright glass beads, each finishes approx 2-1/2 x 3. These would be REAL CUTE stitched on some of the bright Tropical colors of 14ct Aida -- and constructed into pillows with wild trims and fabrics.

Nativity Trilogy Set 3 Kits Shepherds and The Angel... our Nativity Set continues with these three paper ornaments. Joining the Magi, and Holy Family... these are very pretty!

We talked about stitching these and attaching small easel stand to the backs of them to make a stand-alone nativity scene.
Tiny Treasured Diamonds Kits Here is a new set of geometric and glitzy diamond ornaments -- a different look for your tree than the Santas or the Nativity -- they don't actually HAVE to be Christmas Ornaments at all!!! Stitched on various colors of 28ct, each is embellished with glass beads and a crystal Treasure. They are actually squares of stitching -- approx 3 inches in size. What you are seeing is the front, after the four corners have been turned towards the back and joined. Then the beaded tassel and hanger are strung on there for hanging. If you leave those off -- or use their beads for a looped and beaded edge trim, you can make tiny pin cushions, and they'd be gorgeous tucked into a small basket. Offered as individual kits of fabric, chart, flosses, beads and embellishments. Point your mouse over the image above, and you can read the names of the individual ornaments, in order.

Darling as tree ornaments, they look good on the frig, or dressing the file cabinet at work too! Crystal Wreath looks like hard candies of fuscia, blue and white. For Santa is a yummy plate of decorated cookies and hot cocoa. Winter Bunnies is cool... the little bunny in the front is actually cut out and placed on the front of the larger rabbit -- for a little perspective. Rocking Horse is already a favorite! He just could NOT BE CUTER!!!!! (What about a Baby's first Christmas???) Christmas Lights is that quintessential tangle of twinkle lights!!! Finally, Red Wagon is so retro -- it goes with the Family Tree and Holiday Memories kits above. Cute, Cute... get one or the whole set!

Always fun to do... these come as small complete kits of all the beads, threads, paper... everything! Make them into little magnets or hang them from a Fall or Halloween Tree as decoration.
Beaded Ornaments OHhh... here's a set of some unusual stitched pieces! Little ornaments, we think each can be stitched either 3 or 4-sided... you choose! (wouldn't a glass lampshade out of Daisy Mae be neat!?) Stitched on 14ct perforated paper, each side finishes approx 1-3/4 x 2-1/4... without the hanging fringe. Very different for Mill Hill, lots of bright color, each kit contains BOTH design options and enough materials to make both ornaments shown. Be Colorful!!

Spring Bouquet Kits for 2013 A summer-y set this year... the eggs are obviously a cute pair... the strawberry and little cow would be cute hanging over a kitchen cabinet pull, and the Patriotic Star is a great year-round decoration. Offered as the small kits of paper, beads and flosses, chart and needles -- each includes a small magnet to help it cling to a file cabinet, frig... anywhere magnets like to stick!
Snow Crystals OHHH... pretty lacy snowflakes featuring only bits of Cross Stitch but lots of Mill Hill Bugle Bead design detail. This is a new set of six ornament designs worked on 14ct perforated paper, just like the rest of Mill Hill's ornaments. What will make these glisten on your tree is the shape of the bugle beads. They are long 'tubes' of glass -- so they really draw, catch and reflect the lights from your tree. These will SPARKLE like crazy. Super quick to stitch (those beads do all the work), please cut these out with a sharp utility scissor -- NOT your good embroidery scissors. The paper is very dulling on a delicate blade. After ours are cut out, we back them with a bit of glued-on fabric to cover the stitching threads and make the backs look nice. Each is offered in an individual kit of chart, paper, flosses,little charm decorating the bottoms, needles and beads.
Nativity Trilogy Set 2, the Holy Family Mill Hill is obviously developing an entire Nativity set of stitched ornaments. What a TREAT! This is the second edition in this new series of designs -- last year we had the Magi Trilogy, and didn't know it was going to be the beginning of a much larger set of designs. So... here we go! Presenting Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. Same format as other MH kits -- perforated paper, necessary flosses and beads... you might look at these and say that they are much plainer than last year's Magi. BUT... that is point! Joseph was a carpenter... they weren't the upper class of the Three Kings! I hope we get angels, shepherds,and animals in the next few years... but these 6 designs are a wonderful start to the new set. Each finishes approx 3-1/2 x 5.
Magi Trilogy Wow... Here are the Three Wise Men... delivered in the same size format as Mill Hill's annual Paper Santas! We're speculating that they'll now have to do an entire nativity in years to come... this is just the first installment! Beautiful ornaments for your tree to help tell The Christmas Story. Each finishes approx 4 x 4-1/2 inches and includes the chart, flosses, beads and glass or crystal Mill Hill Treasures! Classy!
Presenting Mill Hill's 2012 Winter Holiday Mini-Ornament Kits TOO CUTE this year... this year's set of six designs will look great gracing your Christmas Tree! They make good magnets, too... in case you want to perch them some place else. 'I Love Christmas' and 'Paisley Tree' seem to go together, and companion the larger Tapestry Noel design of the Button and Bead kits. 'Oli Elf', Joy Tree and Santa and Rudolph all look whimsical and full of Chrismtassy detail. I LOVE those skinny legs on Oli! Last, the Partridge with the pear tree in his tummy is plump, yet subdued! I think he companions World Peace in the larger set. Always a super-good-value, Mill Hill kits are complete with charts, clear instructions and model pics, all the threads and beads you need, needle, and even backing magnet if you want your ornament to be able to do something else other than just 'hang around' on a tree!

I like the trio of jams and preserves... but LOVE that little squirrel!

Approx 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 in size, each tree is stitched on 14ct perforated paper in DMC flosses, and garnished with a small brass charm. We think they'd be AWESOME on fabrics, and finished with a bit of stuffing, a pretty bow, and a bit of cording on the edges. Six trees, each one is as pretty as the last!

Offered as small ornament kits, such a pretty set, each kit includes the paper, chart, flosses, beads, embellishment and necessary needles... they'll also arrived at the end of this week.

They don't use any metallic threads, and I personally think there are lots of places that you could add some -- just for fun. See what threads you have in your stash, and get to work! Think about stitching a whole army of Nutcrackers -- you could change uniform colors. Think about stitching the Sugar Plum Fairy for all the little girls in a dance class!

Offered as complete kits of chart, needle, paper, flosses and metallics, beads and charms, these are really a bargain because of all the colors of threads and beads included! Lovely!

2007 Spring and Summer What-Nots Here is the 2007 set of small ornament/pin kits by Mill Hill. Really, really nice, generic designs, they go with the larger Button & Bead kits, also freshly released! The tiny Tuscan cottage is pretty, the wine glass would make a DARLING wine bottle decoration for a special gift. Kitty and Dog are always popular. The sailboat is awesomely contemporary, and the western boot is SO Oklahoma... those Mill Hill gals in Wisconsin have no idea how much these Oklahomans love their boots! (However, I too, am from WI... and don't own any cowboy boots!!!... even though I've lived in Oklahoma for 25 years!) Anyway, these 2 x 3-ish inch kits come complete with the pattern, paper, beads and necessary flosses. Quite a good value, they are really fun to stitch, and require only scissors to cut them out for finishing! Think about these for neat scrapbook ideas, or something fun to attach to a favorite picture frame as an added embellishment!
