I have been working on making Christmas ornaments in May and June and just having so much fun with the embroidery and beading.
I purchased a pattern from Mary Corbet's website Needle n Thread for making Christmas Wreath ornaments and Christmas Tree Ornaments. So far I have only completed one wreath, but I did make three of them. Learning her method for tying the bow was a challenge, but it does make a beautiful bow. Her patterns are all so beautiful, I am anxious to make some more of the wreaths and start on the trees.
I also discovered some fun embroidery / beading patterns of Folk Art Scandinavian Ornament pattern by Patricia Welch Designs. She offers her patterns for sale on her etsy shop as .pdf downloads ($6 each)
Here is what I have made so far:

Ah yes... you are totally into Christmas, and the pieces you're making are lovely. Really nice ornaments, and I hope you can admire them come December. We don't put up a tree anymore since no one comes to our house for the holidays. So, I'm sort of out of the Christmas decoration mode. Enjoy yours!
