Christmas Ornament Catch-Up!

 

Victory! Everybody gets cookies today to celebrate my accomplishment! I have finally caught up on my Christmas ornament finishing!

We got married at Christmas time and every year for the last 25 years I have stitched an ornament for each of us (Mr. Wonderful chooses his). Up until 2021 we always chose our ornaments from the annual Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament issue, but as that magazine has changed since it was sold, sometimes we find designs we like and sometimes we don't, so we choose from other sources.

Anyway, 2021 began a very stormy season in our lives, which lasted for several years, and while I was getting our ornaments stitched each year, I wasn't getting them finished. Five years of ornaments piled up. 

And I've finally got them all finished. (*sniffle*)

Enjoy a little Christmas in March!

Of all our Christmas trees, our handmade ornament tree is our favorite, and our collection has outgrown the tree we use for it. Mr. Wonderful and I were discussing the need for a bigger tree, and that was before I got all these finished!

Hope you enjoyed Christmas in March! Back soon!
