This year’s Christmas ornaments

 I had a minor panic at the beginning of the week when I realised I hadn’t begun the annual ornaments for nieces and nephews.   Fortunately I have 20 years of the Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament issue so a quick scramble through the stack, a dive into the linen box and then selecting appropriate DMC threads and I’ve managed to stitch two.  Hopefully number three will be done this weekend.

One niece doesn’t like Santa Claus decorations, another really likes Santa Claus.   One family have a large tree, another has a very small tree.   There are so many conditions that need to be applied but I like to keep up the tradition so here we go….

2024 - Number One


2024 - Number Two


I’m sure I have backing fabric in stash and will add a twisted cord hanger.   So onwards to the remainder.

Hello Margaret: Love the ornament designs, I do not know anyone who does not like Santa.
Christmas is coming so fast it seems, wishing you luck on getting the other ornaments finished.

You panicked not having your ornaments done in mid November - and look at me, it's a month later and I'm still working on all my Christmas presents! Getting there, though. These are really cute, especially the Santa!
