Gifted Gorgeousness Report for June

This month I have nine Christmas ornaments to show - they are all destined to be Christmas gifts this year.

First up, Christmas gifts for two brothers, members of my extended family.  Mostyn will be celebrating his second Christmas, and Sarben his third.

The teddy is a Dale Burdett design from DB32 "A Mini Christmas".

The Santa is a Barbara Mock design from Dimensions "Christmas Quickies".

I changed floss colours in both of the ornaments.

This ornament is for the newest member of my extended family, a little boy born to Aussie parents in New York.

The stocking design is heavily adapted from a chart in LA's "Christmas Caboodle" leaflet.

The tiny koala is adapted from a Di Noyce design in Jill Oxton's Cross Stitch Australia magazine.

 Another Dale Burdett teddy - this one is  for a little Kiwi, the granddaughter of an old friend.

This ornament is for my nephew and his partner.

The manger design is adapted from a design in Graphworks 

"Mini Motif Designs for Christmas Vol 1"

This one is for my niece and her husband.

The Christmas is Love design is from Sam Hawkins

 "50 Santas to Cross Stitch"

This one is for my niece's much-loved dog - if you have a good imagination you might see bones decorating this Christmas tree. There's no designer to credit for this one - it just grew as I stitched.

And finally, a pair of Santas for two little English boys, more grandchildren of my old friend.

 

The Santa design is by Barbara Mock,

from Dimensions "Christmas Quickies II" booklet.

So, that is it for this month.  I'll still be stitching Christmas ornaments in the coming month - I hope to get ten finished for the July GG report.
