I have had a crush on the wooden cross-stitch pendants for a long time, but seeing Danielle’s projects, two weeks ago, pushed me over the edge. I bought a pendant. ONE. Because I was unaware of how much I would love this tiny project! I racked my brain for ideas–my initial, “mom,” a bunny, etc. Finally, a lightbulb went off and I ran to my bookshelf and pulled out some vintage needlepoint books. It was tough finding something small. I had a lot of beautiful fonts but they were all too big.
I finally came across this book with nothing but floral charts. There’s a whole page with these small flowers. I chose the one I liked most and transferred it to some graph paper, then drew the template of the pendant around it. I had to sacrifice a bit of the edges, but I don’t mind. I am in loooooove!
I am kicking myself for not buying more pendants. I bought them from the same place Danielle did–The Workroom. I am going to buy some more soon. I think they’d be beautiful key chains for Mother’s Day! Psssst! I already bought the floss for my next. Shades of coral for the flower and mint for the background. I can’t wait!
What do you think? Tiny projects are awesome, no? I started this yesterday and finished it this morning. I would have finished sooner if I hadn’t accidentally cut my working thread at one point. Pfffft!

umm you should sell these. I’d so buy one or 50.
This is beautiful! I love the colors you’ve chosen.
I love this so much! Going to have to order a blank pendant! Thanks for sharing. :)
Oooh, it’s so pretty!
It’s so lovely!
I love it! What does the back look like? Is it neat enough to leave as it is, or did you cover it?
It’s not as neat, but it doesn’t bother me. I imagine it could be fairly easy to cover it with a circle of felt or thin cotton.
That is absolutely stunning! I want to make one.
BEAUTIFUL!! Wow how creative and gorgeous!!
I love the pattern and colors you chose- perfection! I really want to try this now!
I want to make one too! I have loads of old cross stitch patterns that could go onto one of those pendants. Great idea for mothers day too :-)
I have a bag that has the same pattern and colors as the pendant. I love this!
I’ve been looking for some tiny flower charts to do mine for ages! And I love the background colour. Currently considering unpicking and redoing my own pendant.
wowserz! that is fantastic! i’m super impressed!
wow! your crossstitching is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
It’s absolutely beautiful! I love the colors you used. I’ve been thoroughly inspired! :)
i love this…such an old fashioned pattern with a new twist! i just found some blanks and can hardly wait to give it a whirl! (such tiny holes!!! eeek!)
Very different nice where are you able to purchase pendants? Thanks for you help
I was wondering if the cross stitches would work as a fair isle chart. Of course I would enlarge the pattern. I’m liking your style and color choices. Your pendants are lovely. Thanks for the inspiration!
I can’t embroider. But I want one. Do you sell them anywhere?
I think these tags can be used in many ways,they are so lovely.
Just lovely!
This is so creative of you. Sell them!! I’d buy more than one!
So cool!!! where did you find that book? I’d really like to see what other flowers are in there
