Cross Stitch Ornaments. Cross stitching Christmas ornaments gives me lots of time to ponder various ways to stitch, finish, and gift wrap them.

About these pages

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".
