trim the tree

One of my favorite things to make are handmade ornaments.  They are one of those projects you can do in an hour or two and they add such sweetness to your home during the holidays.   

When I came across the group The Trim the Tree Swap, I had to join in.  Too much fun to pass up.   You make four handmade ornaments for four different partners and then you receive four ornaments in return.

My first two I made were the little gnomie girl and boy.  The pattern is by Noialand.  I adore all her sweet adorable felt patterns.  I have a few others I purchased and have been itching to stitch those too.  :)

Little gnomie girl and boy.  I love the cute little mushroom on the boy and the sweet ribbon on the girl.  Such sweet little details.

Then I came across a lovely tutorial and pattern by Ellis & Higgs.  I thought it would be fun to make it scrappy with lots of strips.  It was pretty simple and love the way it turned out. 

The sweet little ornaments all together.    Now to make a set for my tree.   My kiddos were very concerned that I was sending them off and wouldn't make some for us.   I surely don't want to disappoint them so better get to it.  :)

I hope everyone has had a lovey week so far!!  

Hugs,
