The ornament trees

It is a TAST stitch of SharonB which inspired me for those

fir trees - crossed buttonhole stitch, the small "trees"

are made with wheatear stitch.

 

Then I had the idea to make a christmas ornament. It is small.

Less than 4 cm

What about making more? I could use them as pendants for

little presents.

Yes, good for Christmas. The gingerbread house is a photo

from a journal.

Then I increased my output. And please look at the cross-stitch

snowflakes on the reverse side -

DH put them on our wreath of Advent

Next step - filling the sachets with Christmas cookies -

DH was baking - instead of renovating the house, ha!

I gave them all away .....

Enjoy Sunday - it is the 3. Advent - three candles are burning.
