The second season of our annual Tree Trimmings ornament designs is coming this month! I'm really enjoying these simple but fun ornaments. They are quick to stitch and the limited palette means you get to use up more of each skein of floss.
This threesome includes Joy Choir, Christmas Cloche and Plum Pudding. Just like Season One, they are finished with a Baker's Twine around the edge.

Supporting our cross stitch shops and community is a primary concern for me, so I always encourage you to purchase my designs from your favorite local or online needlework shop. It's for this reason that you won't see my newest designs available for sale on my own website for a few months after they are released.
Check out our Needlework Shops page to find a shop near you, or an online shop.
