Ornaments I

 Hello again everyone!

This week I want to talk about my two Christmas releases: Ornaments I and Stockings Were Hung. In this post I will be focusing on Ornaments I. 

One thing you should know about me is that I LOVE making Christmas ornaments! In 2020 I started the tradition of solely stitching Christmas ornaments from Halloween to Christmas, and seeing how many I could get done. I had an absolute blast doing this, and I continued the tradition in 2021 and 2023. (I took 2022 off due to some family things going on and losing my stitchy bug.) I loved seeing the different ways I could finish an ornament, and how to decorate it. One of the finishes I did was on perforated paper, and thus the idea for these ornaments I designed was born!

There are two different shaped ornaments in this set, with three of each kind. 

I'm really happy with how these cuties turned out, and I was surprised with how quickly they stitched up!

There are only six DMC colors used for these ornaments: Blanc, E3852, 320, 349, 699, and 801. Each ornament is under 3 inches, and they are stitched on perforated paper.

When finishing these, I added a gold thread to the top behind the stitching to act as a hanger, and I sandwiched a piece of red or green felt onto the back. I think they turned out so cute, what do you think?

That's it for me today, I will be back soon to talk about "Stockings Were Hung!" Have a great day!
