My Homespun Ornaments


These are the ornaments I made for an exchange on one of my lists. There were nine of us who participated, and you could make any type of ornament. Since I've been so busy with cross stitch these last few months, I decided to make these. I found the chart in one of my early Spirit of Christmas books by Leisure Arts/Oxmoor House. They had them finished differently but I didn't have all the necessary materials, so decided to stuff them and add the bell at the bottom and the ribbon for hanging. I made it long enough so they can be hung on a tree, a wall, or over a doorknob. I was really happy with the way they turned out, and hope everyone in the exchange likes them, too :)

I love these! They're so cheerful and sweet. I really like how you finished them with bells and ribbon hangers. Could you please share which Spririt of Christmas book you found them in? Thanks so much.

Joanne, I love mine. I am using it on my door into the living room as it deserves to play center stage. You did a wonderful job!!! Thanks.

Joanne - I love mine, too! It's hanging on the front doorknob and Tucker enjoys batting it around, making it jingle. :o)
