I stitched these ornaments for a special couple about a decade ago. Each decoration featured one of their hobbies or other favourite things: from a stack of beloved books, to a tent to represent their many camping holidays, to a portrait of their cats.
Working on these was quite a challenge but a very fun one and I'm still really proud of the end results.
I loved the camera ornament so much it became part of my shop range for many years and I'll be bringing the design back later this year as a printable pattern.
I'll also be revisiting the books design very soon as I'm planning something book-themed for February. (Make sure you're signed up to my free pattern newsletter if you're interested!)
Here's a closer look at the other ornaments in the set...

What themes would you pick if you made a set of ornaments like this for yourself?

These are really fun. I would certainly have books and cake, something cross stitch related, perhaps a sewing machine too, our dog, a candle, and a Rainbow logo as I run the Rainbows in our village. For my husband his phone (yes, sad but true), a table tennis bat and ball, a little family tree, and a miniature garden too. x
That sounds like a lovely selection of items! I think a lot of us would have our phone included (or something like the Instagram logo) if we were honest! :)
They all are very sweet and thoughtfully crafted! I really like the books!
Thank you! :)
