Tea towel round up – What’s not to love about an anatomical heart?

teatowel1 SKinny Laminx has some verrry cute tea towels all designed and printed by herself using local materials.
The Ikea one is my favoritee, I can imagine going through Ikea withdrawal if I lived somewhere without one. Now, did she make up the names of the Ikea products on there?

ArtGoodies, the fabulous work of Lisa Price, has some really nice designs on tea towels, aprons and plushies.
Lisa has a great VintageGoodies Etsy shop, I’m eyeballing these vintage bird mugs and some of the vintage tins and platters.

Leannegraeff on Etsy has some wonderful camping themed tea towels perfect to remind you of all the fun camping you’ve done. Leanne also tuns her designs in to fabric yardage. I love it that people are making their own fabric these days

I’m a sucker for anatomical heart things. Kaibrina has some lovely printed heart tea towels, perfect for your friend who loves to bake for Valentine’s Day (hey, it sneaks up faster than you think!). Her hand printed Golden Vagina tanks (a gift pretty much good for any time) are great too!

Okay, that’s enough for one post, I think I’ll save the rest for another day!

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.
