I just finished stitching this Santa a few minutes ago. I still have the names and borders to stitch. This Santa is from ASN booklet by Sam Hawkins - 50 Santas to Cross Stitch (1993).

My first Christmas ornaments for 2013
They're not finished up yet, but here's what I have stitched:

The teddy is Dale Burdett's Santa Teddy, and the crescent Santa is a Donna Kooler design (from 555 Christmas Cross Stitch designs, 1999).
and another Santa Teddy - this one is for an in'law who gave me the Santa salt and pepper set from her Christmas Day table setting this past Christmas. She's a teddy collector.
I'm hoping to have these four finished into ornaments by the end of January,

Lovely stitching.

LOVE Santa , great finish!
The are all very cute:)
I enjoy looking at your blog, to see what ornaments you are making :-)
I have been making some ornaments with the info you kindly passed onto me.
May I ask what the reason is, that you have put the little markings around the outer edge of the backstitching line. Just curious as to why you do this.
Thanks :-)
Juliaoz, the little side stitches into the seam allowance are just for counting. I make one every 10 stitches when I'm backstitching a longish border. It makes it much easier to count the stitches in the border. It doesn't show at all in the finished ornament.
