Christmas Ornament

I've been busy working on a few projects. One project I do every year is to create a special Christmas ornament for each son. I try to do something that happened during the previous year. This is one in the works.
Sometimes I embroider, Other times I use paper. For this Seattle ornie I'm doing a felt collage.
I have cut out all the little buildings in the skyline. I will hand sew them on the background and then decide how to turn it into an ornament.
I'll share more as I work on it. I'm also making a new corner desk for my craftroom. Hopefully  by next week I can show you my progress. I'm still having camera issues, but thought I'd check in.
Sending thoughts and prayers to the people of Paris.

  3. Hi Leslie! WOW! Can't wait to see your Space Needle ornament, so much fun! I'm so happy you're sharing your ornaments you make for your kids :)
    The events in Paris are so heartbreaking and shocking. What has become of the world? Not that we haven't had unspeakable ugliness and violence before but now it seems to be a constant assault against the world. So very frightening and sad.
    Take care and happy stitching!

  4. Hi Sally,
    You are so right about the world today. I don't even like to think about it for too long or I get so depressed. It is so sad, that a few bad people can change the whole world. Anyway, thanks about the ornie. I'll show it as I work on it. Have a good week!

  5. Hi Leslie! Oh, this is wonderful! Felt is kinda hard to cut and I'm so impressed with your cityscape you've cut out! What a sweet little ornament this will be and no one will have any like them. A couple of years ago I made little felt ornaments for my little granddaughter's little white tree. I absolutely loved many all of the seasonal ornies! Thanks so much for popping in to see me.
    Be a sweetie,
