Ongoing Ornament Swap 2020 Discussion and Gallery

Such a cute little sewing machine. I love the holly accents

A sewing machine ornament…Perfect!

I’m so glad you like it! I haven’t done a felt ornament in ages and it was fun breaking out my embroidery floss again!

Here’s a pic showing the colors a bit more - I went with a soft maroon & green palette:

I love that the sewing machine is sea-foam green. It was a popular color for appliances in the 60s, I believe, and one of my favorite models of sewing machines is a green like that. :slight_smile:

So glad he did not get lost in the postal abyss! He looks a little ragged from his travels but a little airing out will get his straight!

I used a flat bead because I wanted to fit him into a regular envelope. Normally, I make these with round beads, but I sort of like him peeking out!

YAY! Anyway, Happy New Year!!!

Glad your little guy made it as well! An iconic ornament for 2020!

Makes me wonder what future generations are going to think of him…it will be a time to remember, brightened by the creativity of many, making the best of the worst!

I know I do, but sadly I do not have space for another tree. They just keep going on the main one!

@AIMR, I agree with @Lynx, your ornament looks like a cute snowsuit person with his little face peeking out from under his hood :blush:.

Thank you for the collages Lynx2Lancer. We really did a ton of ornaments :open_mouth:.

What a cute star kid and Covid Cookieman!

We took the indoor decorations down, but I am not ready to pack away all the care and talent sent my way. For a little while yet, this will be out.

Thank you for being an awesome organizer of our crafty chaos, @Lynx!
