A Great Site to Visit

by

kkfilm8bitI recently visited and told you about www.kraftykid.com. They are a kid’s Craft of the Month Club with lots of cool projects for your child.  They sent me a sample pack of their products and I have to tell you, my 4-year old daughter had a blast. Of course she put her own twist on each of the projects, but they all turned out really cute.

This site offers a variety of clubs that you can enroll your child in at a variety of prices. You can shop by category, price, or age. There is a clearance section (you know I love sales!)

There are free craft ideas, a referral program, and lots more!This site is worth visiting!

There is a comparison chart of their different clubs on the site to make it easier to decide which is best for your child. Tracie, the owner of kraftykids, is great and  very helpful. She can answer any questions you might have.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
