I am in a little bit of a knitting lull, but not a creative lull.
I have been making these little embroidered Christmas ornaments
to include with the money gifts I give at Christmas time.
To people like my manicurist, my hairdresser,
my mail carrier (she is such a sweet woman)...people like that.
This is a kit I saw on Instagram and ordered from Homestead & Thread.
It was very inexpensive, and included the patterns and the snowflake designs which were on a water soluble material, Stick and Stitch.
The felt and embroidery thread were not included.
These 3 need to be sewn together with a blanket stitch, stuffed,
and cording included on top to hang them from.
I am using the "star"...not the heart or circle, I like the star as it is much more Christmassy.
I cut the felt into the shape and then embroider the design over the water soluble pattern.
Once done, you soak it in warm water which dissolves water soluble product.
These 2 were included as a thank-you.
and I will be so happy in December that they are done.

You're very smart to start working on your Christmas gifts now! It will be here before we know it.
I love those star ornaments, and I think that's such a great thing to include with the money gift. I always love it when someone gives me an ornament. I didn't get to celebrate Christmas as a child, and I'm kind of obsessed with Christmas ornaments now. Those are really pretty! It makes me wish I knew how to embroider.
The ornaments are lovely! You have a good start on the holiday preparation.
You are way ahead that's for sure! I have done very little crafting of late

I think they look very nice.
All the best Jan
