2026 Fully Finished Christmas Ornament Gifts

I finally fully finished all the Christmas ornament gifts for 2026.  I have been working on them for several weeks, maybe a month.  I would do one step to them all and then put them aside for a few days, then do the next step until yesterday when I finally finished the last 4.  I am so glad to have these done.  Now comes the hard part, deciding which one goes to which person.  You will see I have names after a few of them.  That is because I knew when I was stitching them who they were for.  Baking Spirits Bright is for a niece who does a lot of Christmas cookie baking.  She makes trays and gives them to her fellow employes.  The Burgandy Frosty is for a friend who moved to Florida to remind her of our Pennsylvania winters.  The Blue Noel is for Kayla.  I knew I wanted to stitch it for her the moment I saw it.  It just looked like something she would like.  There are several ornaments that will break my heart to give away.  Winter Night and Baked Goods I would love to keep.  Unfortunately, I have so many Christmas tree ornaments I just can't keep them.  What I am going to do is write the name of the ornaments on a slip of paper, one for each ornament and they write the recipients names on other pieces of paper and have Bob pick names, and I'll pick the ornament name or the other way around.

          Nothing fancy about this finish.  Just glued to a piece of cardboard with felt on the back and a hanger.  This is the 2nd one of these I stitched.  I ruined the 1st one.  This will be a present for Bob when we decorate the tree.

I don't have any new starts planed for September but once I get the Peanut Blossom stitched, I may start another Christmas ornament.  I have a Prairie Schooler chart of Snowmen and Santas I would like to stitch.  I don't know why except that I like them and would like to have them stitched.
