Christmas Ornaments.

As I'm sure you remember I make and swap Christmas ornaments with friends and family each year. This year time got away from me and I couldn't complete them all.  So I owe some folks two ornaments in 2024. More on that in another post. Lets have a look at what I did achieve and receive. 
This handsome blue chap was sent to Janice. He arrived late thanks to the postal system.
I'm happy to say that Janice loves him.
This beautiful blackwork tree was stitched by Janice and sent to me.
Very nice too. Thank you my friend. I love it.
Another ornament I received this year is this lovely knitted wreath from Debbie.
The Suffolk puff lollypop above it was a previous gift from Debbie.
Here is a look at my own gnome. I didn't get chance to add his final ribbon bling, maybe later today, but at least he made it on to the tree. 
And speaking of the tree.
A tree full of hand made ornaments.

Lots of bloggers do an annual round up, but that's never been my way.
So I'll just slip quietly in to 2024 by wishing you all the very best for the new year.
I hope you have a happy and healthy 12 months ahead and for those of you taking part in some of the many sewing challenges, have fun.

Lovely ornaments, Lou. I made a wee bunch and then realised they were too thick to 'pop' into envelopes without being charged triple postage (international) - grr. Your handmade tree is gorgeous. Happy Sewing and crafting in 2024.
