More Needlepoint Christmas

My small stitching group had our annual ornament exchange cocktail party tonight. It is a very festive affair and one I look forward too every year.

We pick names at the party to know who we will be making an ornament for next year. The pressure is great to come up with a new and original ornament to honor the friend you chose.

This year’s ornaments were a very cute group and also very green. I made the pink one that says “Dinner? Cooking? Oh Darling…” it was for a friend who neither eats nor cooks. She took great delight in it.

The one I was gifted was the beautiful wedding cake which I absolutely adore. I can’t wait to show it to Carter.

Each ornament is made with such love and care. Since we stitch regularly together we always have to be careful not to be working on our exchange ornament in front of each other.

I now have the names of the people who I will be stitching for next years. It is going to be hard to come up with something new and original. Time to put my thinking cap on.
