Another batch of Christmas ornaments finished

I'm working my way through my stitching list - another five ornaments to cross off the list today.

First is the replacement for the ornament my pup destroyed last month.  This will be a Christmas gift for a young Christmas visitor.

The letters are adapted from the Santa Hat Alphabet
 in Alma Lynne's A-Z series Christmas Alphabets and Borders.


These three Nutcrackers will be Christmas gifts for three brothers.

Fronts:
The Nutcracker design is adapted from the Nutcracker
 in the "Merry Christmas" picture from
 Just Cross Stitch's 1991 Special Ornament Issue

Backs:
 The letters are adapted from the Santa Hat Alphabet
 in Alma Lynne's A-Z series Christmas Alphabets and Borders.


And this one is for a lovely young couple who have recently started their life together.

The design is adapted from Dale Burdett's Christmas Minis booklet

    Well done on replacing the dog's chew toy! I love the little initials with the hats on! They won't be able to argue over which ornie belongs to which child now.
