Every year I stitch an ornament for my godson, Jacob. The past couple of years I have tried to apply it to the year that just past. This year I went with kind of a patriotic theme. I stitched "Snowman's Holiday" by Lizzie Kate and personalized the back.
It turned out very cute and he was quite happy with it. Jacob loves getting his ornament every year and that makes me happy!
Then, in the Christmas Ornament Swap I am in, Joan was the recipient for December. Joan is not a traditional Christmas celebrator so I had to find something different but fit her. Here is what I stitched.
It is a Helga Mandl design that was in the Gift of Stitching called "Cross Stitcher's Tree". I think she was pretty happy with it. If you look at it sideways, it says "Stitch", and that is what Joan loves to do!
I am glad Christmas is over and can get back to "normalcy". Our "picnic" was fun, some even wore shorts!
Have a great day!

Both ornaments are so lovely and special, each in its own way.
Wonderful ornaments! I love the way you added a remembrance for the year to Jacobs~clever!
Beautiful ornaments and I like what you've done with your Godson's ornament, put the year's big events on the back.
Two great ornaments Jill. I love the way you put events on the back of your Godson's one - very special.
'Stitch' tree is beautiful and I am sure that Joan loves it.
Happy New Year to you.
