I'm joining Kathy's link-up for handwork projects on Sundays, Sunday Stitching #5. First a recap of yesterday's finish, a cross stitch ornament - "Hawaii Santa" - a three-ornament series from Mill Hill that is stitched on perforated paper. I am addicted to these small projects because of their portability. And they are so darn cute!
Next is another addiction...Bucilla felt stocking and ornament kits. I am working on a set of ornaments, "North Pole." I don't know why but it seems to take me forever to make a set of six ornaments. Santa is the first, and I'm close to having him done. I cut out an arm piece ahead of time and now it has disappeared so I will have to wing it!
This ornament matches the stocking "North Pole," that I finished in 2008....WOW...that was a little while ago.
These kits always make me smile.

Such cute projects to work on when it's mid summer!
Maybe it makes you feel cooler??!
Thanks for linking up!
They make me smile too. I was wondering what those ornaments were made of, and now I know.... perforated paper.... interesting.....maybe.....
I love all of your Christmas socks that you make - I can just picture your house so cheerful at the holiday season.

I just found your blog a few days ago, I stumbled on it when searching for how best to put the back on a felt stocking. Your tutorial gave me the courage to try another stocking kit, I made one before but couldn't figure that part out and gave up. I realized I was making it so much harder then I needed to and have since started one for my daughter. But these kits are like potatoe chips, you can't just have one, I now have a stock pile started LOL even threw in a tree skirt! Thanks so much!
