In January I started stitching my 2022 Christmas gifts. For some of my great-nieces and nephews I chose the wreath initial chart by Susan Bates, from Issue 22 of 'Enjoy Cross Stitch at Christmas' magazine (2019). I will most likely be making a few more of these this year.
This year I have four toddlers on my gift list. I will be making each of them a Santa teddy ornament (designer Dale Burdett, 'A Mini Christmas', DB132). This is one of my favourites, and I would go so far as to say that there would be a Santa teddy ornament on the Christmas tree of every family whose children regularly visit me at Christmas. So far I have stitched three of the teddies. Lola's teddy hasn't yet had its external borders or back stitched.
I look forward to checking all the GG posts. It's one of my pleasures each month.

What lovely ornaments you are making, the letters are so pretty! Love the little bears too! A great way to start the New Year! Happy Stitching!
Thanks for taking part in GG this month. I do like those wreath letters, they make a fun Ornament. The teddies are perfect for the toddlers too.
I am glad that you enjoy the SAL as much as I do! We are in our 8th year now!
Lovely ornaments this month! I especially like the wreath ones.
So many gifts stitched - and finished - already! The wreath monograms are gorgeous. :)
What a start! How can you have already done so much in 15 days (are you stitching during the night). Great patterns for the letters and teddies are so cute too. You already set the bar very high for this year ornaments score! Amicalement. xxx
