Sometimes the simplest ornaments look the best on the tree. I love this Yarn-Laced Snowflake Ornament because the Cricut Maker does most of the work and my kids can help put it together. The most difficult part of making the ornament is choosing which colour sparkly yarn to use (and it has to be sparkly!)! This post contains affiliate links.

Mind the Gap London Underground Felt Ornament
I just can't get enough of London and I'm lucky that I get to spend so much time there. There are so many iconic things about London, but one of my favourites is the Underground. It's so well-run and I never get tired of that polite voice coming over the speaker to tell us to mind the gap. I wanted a piece of London on our Christmas Tree and made this fun Mind the Gap London Underground Felt Ornament to remind me of London when I'm not there. This post contains affiliate ... Read More
Faux Leather and Felt Candle Ornament
Candles are forever connected to Christmas Eve for me.

Faux Leather Firefly Ornament
I love ornaments and I love exchanges, so with my recent love of making ornaments with my Cricut Maker, it made complete sense to have a Cricut Ornament Exchange. A group of Cricut bloggers got together to swap ornaments made with Cricut machines with the added fun of not knowing who was sending us an ornament until it arrived. It was up to us to do some basic blog stalking, and I quickly discovered that my person was a fellow Browncoat. I was initially going to make a full on Christmas ... Read More
Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop
I've been amassing a pile of felt and fabric scraps from various Christmas projects that needed to be used. Because my go-to craft supplies have become more precious since the move (harder and more expensive to come by), I've held onto every last bit for use in another project. I pulled some of my scraps together to make this festive little Merry and Bright Cross Stitch Hoop and it has added yet another pop of homemade Christmas cheer to our family room.
