Cross-Stitch Christmas Ornament - Uh-Oh! Santa

My eighth stitching project and final for a while. I haven't found the next design I want to stitch and I'm kinda bored with the stitching.

But this one is stitched on Red Aida 14-count fabric and is a Santa Claus trying to either fit down the chimney or squeeze out of the chimney. At the bottom Uh-Oh! is stitched.

Cross-Stitched Christmas Ornament - North Pole Post

My seventh stitching project for this Christmas.

This one is stitched on White Aida 14-count fabric. It is North Pole Post by Reindeer and has Santa's face stitched in the middle of a postage stamp design.

This one took a little longer because of several color changes and the stitched design size is a little larger than the ones I have stitched recently.

Penguin in the Snow

I completed the second stitching project for this Christmas. I figure I'll stitch a bunch up then I sit down at one time to make the ornaments. I can stitch on my lunch hour at work and at my break times.

This one is stitched on Christmas Green Aida 14-count fabric. It is a penguin with snow falling around him and he is holding snow sticks. He is wearing a Christmas Santa hat and wearing a green scarf. I actually started and finished this one in two days.

Christmas Mouse Sitting by Candle

I cross-stitched this years first Christmas ornament. Well I haven't made it into an ornament yet but it'll happen.

It's a Christmas mouse sitting beside a candle. It was a kit I picked up sometime throughout history and one of those projects I began and put down because I had the need to move on. But the stitching is complete and I just need to make it into a cute ornament for the tree.
