2012 Ornament Round Up!

Here's a great alternative for finishing off your ornaments. A customer had this one finished off with an easel back so she can honor her pooch year round. What a cute idea!

Santa's Secret

Here are the first four of Carson's ornaments for this year ... stay tuned for the rest of them!

 

 

Christmas Wrap Up!

Here are the final ornaments for Christmas 2009;

I always stitch a dog ornament for Woody and Wilson. This year I found canvases that I could put both dogs on- and I personalized the cube with each of their names.

Football Frog and Jersey-

Couldn't resist making two football ornaments this year since it is Carson's last year playing . We all enjoyed our Friday nights at the games the last four years!

Peppermints on a stick-

What fun to have a personalized ornament on the tree. I put our Initials on the front of these two sided ornaments. They looked great on the tree.

And so that's it for the 2009 ornaments. I'm already working on the twelve for 2010. Keep checking to see what they are.......I'm already stitching on the first one.

Come on in and see what great ornaments you would like to make for the 2010 holiday season!

The Uncle Gus Bus

My husband, Jim, decided last year to get his commercial bus driving license to help out with driving the activity buses to sporting events. Our son plays 3 different high school sports- football, wrestling and lacrosse. Carson's nickname is Gus, so the guys started calling Jim "Uncle Gus". This provided me with the perfect needlepoint opportunity for one of Carson's ornaments so I had an artist design an activity bus. I used water-n-ice to stitch the glass on the windows and they really look fantastic! I personalized the ornament by adding "Uncle Gus'" and ECHHS.

Hope you can keep this a secret- Christmas is still two months away!

NANCY'S STOCKING

I've decided to start my Christmas Stocking this fall. I've been stitching away on Carson's ornaments and now that they are done I'm ready to start my stocking.

I have picked all my threads and I am dreaming about the decorative stitches.

This beautiful stocking is by Peter Ashe.

Please stay tuned here to see my progress.

FUN FAMILY ORNAMENTS

We have so many great canvases for you to stitch ornaments for all of your family.

Here is a lovely example of an ornament series for one of our stitchers' children.

Elisabeth has three children that she stitched hat ornaments for. She wanted them personalized to make them even more special. Keep that in mind for your next project. It is fun to add a monogram or date to a project to make it really memorable!
