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!

February Finish

My project for February was this little cross stitch pillow.

Baby, it's hot outside!

With temperatures in the 90s not much is being done here creatively speaking, except some cross stitch and sock knitting. I avoid anything that requires me to drag out the iron so my Christmas sewing projects have been postponed a bit. I added another section to the Scandinavian Christmas sampler and stitched another Advent Animal.

Oh dear, May already!

I don't know where the time is going, but it sure goes by fast. I managed to stitch another part of the Scandinavian Christmas cross stitch project. I love Dala horses.

April Project

Well, at least the beginning of the April project. It is the first part of a larger cross stitch piece with a Scandinavian Christmas theme.

March Items

Whew, I actually have something to show this month. I made a little progress on the adorable advent animals. They are so much fun to stitch and they are really cute. Meet Cashmere Camel and Pierre Penguin.

November Finishes

Meet 'Peter Polar Bear'

He is the second in the Advent Animals series by Brooke Nolan. I am still not decided on how to use them but I do know it will be some kind of advent calendar.

I know I am a bit early this month but once the weekend is here I tend to forget to do things. ;-)
