HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Now that Christmas is over and I hope our gifts arrived in time for Christmas I can let you know what the kids were working on for presents to family and friends back in the states.
 |
| We made felt Christmas ornaments |
 |
| and learned a new stitch, the Blanket stitch. The kids worked on a little embroidery as well. All the shapes I found online were clip art pictures and I just modified the designs as needed, to keep it simple for the kids. Except the Christmas plum pudding design which my friend found a pattern somewhere:) |
 |
| Some of the completed ornaments -- each child made a total of 8 different ornaments to send stateside:) |
 |
| I think they look very nice on the Christmas tree |
Hopefully, friends and family will enjoy the gifts as they were made with lots of LOVE!
My blogging break is over and so is the kids school break. Come Monday morning it is back to our school schedule, and back to my blogging:)
Those look great! Your kids really are talented and obviously you are too, since you've taught them!
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments are really cute. What a great idea. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Thank you for the card. One of these years I'm going to be organized and life not so hectic to send out cards. Blessings, my friend, and welcome back.
ReplyDeleteThose are really nice. We made ornaments like this in the past, but yours came out much cuter.
