2009 Christmas Challenge

A while back I joined the 2009 Christmas Challenge blog to stitch an ornament a month. I would like to do more but I would settle for one a month. :) My Christmas "to do" stitching basket is over flowing so I have plenty to choose from. My original thought was to try and do one for each of my nieces and nephews. Since there are sixteen of them I am not sure how many I will actually get to do. :)

Hey, I can try!

I just posted my first two ornaments for January. I know I'm two days late but I did finish one on Friday night and one on Saturday. I had started these both last November but with all that went on at the end of last year they got put aside. As I was organizing and trying to locate all my WIPs I found both of them. I'll probably wait until I have a few more before I actually finish them into actual ornaments. But for now the stitching is done.

I think this one turned out so cute. :)

I am hoping to get at least two more finished in February. Notice I said hoping. :)

Until next time..............

Love and stitches
