A cosy Christmas decoration

I used to say that blue was my favourite colour, but recently I've found green more and more to my taste, and anything that's a mix of the two colours is usually a hit with me. So when I found some gorgeous variegated blue-green thread in my stash, I wanted to use it for...something. And here is the result:


It's a very subtle colour change, and I'm not sure that you can see it so clearly in this pic. Here's a close-up:



The colours are much more subdued in real life, but you can make out the change from green to blue, I think. I have some more decorations planned, but I'm keen on doing some more embroidery now. I think the thread would look lovely on a plain white background....*puts thinking cap on*
