As well as cross stitch I have used smocking, tatting, wood work, patchwork and decoupage to craft my annual Christmas ornaments. Here is a "contact sheet" view of some of them. If you would like to see bigger images you can visit my smocking album or my other crafts album and click on the individual pictures.
Since 1988 I have been making Christmas ornaments as gifts for our siblings, parents, grandparents, some nieces, nephews and friends. The number I have made each year has varied from 18 to 30 but I figure that I have easily made more than 400 ornaments. About half of them were cross stitch ornaments.
While I am making the ornaments I have a lot of time to "ponder" the fastest and tidiest ways to put the finishing touches on my ornaments. I am also thinking about how I am going to find/ make 20 or so similar sized boxes to put the ornaments in. On these pages I plan to share some of my "ponderings".
