HAND-MADE CHRISTMAS

Each year, I try to make a hand-made ornament to include as a tuck-in gift for a friend.
This year, I made 3" ornaments from some of my recycled wool Pendleton scraps.
 The snowmen are wool applique and embroidery, and are tiny; so it stretched my abilities a little!
They were fun to make - just wish they weren't so tedious, or I would make a bunch more.

Afternoon Sally,

I so admire your creativity. Your friends are fortunate to have your goodies to hang on their trees.

Happy Blue Monday!

They are adorable, and I'm sure your friends will LOVE them! Hand sewing does take time.

The Pendleton ornaments are cute, they do look like a lot of work.

Hi Sally! Oh, the little ornaments are so sweet! I made my little granddaughter some Christmas felt ornaments and made a few snowmen similar to yours. You're the best. Merry Christmas, sweet friend.
