SBQ'n stuff

SBQ Do you stitch Christmas ornaments? If so, how many do you stitch each year and for whom? If not, why not?

Yes I have!The first three I ever made were about the time I had started stitching. They were little kits, the types you find at WalMart.One was a drummer boy I made for my mother- I finished it off as a magnet. She still puts it on her fridge every year. And an angel, I cannot recall off hand who I gave it to or if I kept it for myself. The third was an ornament for Baby's First Christmas. I stitched it while I was pregnant with my son B. It still goes on our tree every year.
Now the first good ornament truly "all made by little old me"... The blackwork on red aida I had just sent to Lana for the Linabear Ornament Exchange.(Notice the name? I can't for the life of me remember designer of the free pattern!) Anyways, this will be the style from now on, more self-made.Though they won't all be blackwork.

Stitchie Update:I am working on another blackwork design,pics another time. I haven't decided if it'll be a present yet and she reads here now. I am not using cotton, but it is DMC......

Let me recommend - once again - JCS' ornament issues. They're really worth the price (and they're actually rather cheap). :)

The only way I'd be able to get them is through ordering online.... And it just isn't prudent at this juncture. ($$)
