The 2025 Christmas ornaments!

I'm back with another post!  My goal is to indeed finish something Christmasy every month.  Fingers crossed!

Since Daddy's passing in August, I fell behind in my stitching.  But my grandchildren's 2025 Ornamenbts are finished and presented to them.  Charizard was a bit too big to be an ornament, so he is in a frame with a fabric border.  They were tickled to receive them last night!
I actually used Colcha embroidery on the llamas instead of simply outlining them.    

Here is the information to the various designs:

Charizard Dragon:  HoneyKittenShop

Gengar:  ChaosKittensCrafting 

Llamas:  by Stitcher's Revolution pattern #31 "Llama Drama"

Yoda:  GeoCreationsUK

Spiderman:  OutlawStitching

Some cross-stitch patterns appeared to be similar to other sellers' designs, so now I only order from cross-stitch designers that provide BOTH a black and white chart and a color chart.  

Onto my project for March!

Happy Creating to you!

Another Christmas finish

 Hello There!

This was my first Christmas without Daddy (yes, at 63 years, I still call him Daddy LOL!).  I started so many holiday projects, but didn't have the heart to finish them.  I'm on a mission to get them done as they are certainly making a mess out of my sewing room!  

I realize this blog is 1 Xmas Item a Month, but I have another quick finish to share.  I hope you all don't mind if I share here more often than once a  month!  :)

While visiting my local quilt shop, I fell in love with a vintage Christmas ornament panel.  Last month I hand stitched some beaded accents on about half of them and this week I finally took them over the finish line. 

This week I'm hoping to finish another quick project. My sewing room is bursting with all the projects I started last month.  The clutter is driving me nuts! 

Take good care!

A Gift For Mama

January 2026

Happy New Years to all!

It does seem like it’s been a while since anyone has posted, to include myself.  My precious daddy, yes at 62. I still call him daddy, became very ill and eventually passed in August 2025.

The annual ornaments I make for my grandchildren were late, but I am hoping to finish the last one this month.  I’ve decided I’ll start making their ornaments at the beginning of the year because life happens and I don’t want to disappoint them.  Here is my progress thus far.  

I did, however, make my mama this quilted Christmas tree.  The easy tutorial is by Petra at Creative Decor. 

Take good care and happy stitching!
