I still got a couple of things from last year that I never got around to show you, so I will try to sneak them in between current updates! Today, I want to show you the Christmas gifts I finished in December.
First of all, I finished the "A Spicier Life" blanket by Sandra Paul for my little nephew. After finishing the pattern (I added an extra section so I had equal repeats of each colour) I did the border, while simultanously tying down all the loose ends so I didn't have to weave all of them in. I'm really happy with how this turned out and how the colours came together!
Next was Christmas ornaments - Silent Night by Barbara Ana Design for Felix' grandma, Grumpy Cat by Brooke's Books for his mum, and the two Shannon Christie Minis were for my sister in law and Nephew's first Christmas:
And last but not least, a finished nephew's mini birth sampler for the great grandma's wall of grand- and great-grandchildren! He was born in October, so his birth flower is the Calendula. Here is is before adding the name and birthdate:

I love seeing all the finishes! The blanket is fabulous, the colors are beautiful. The patterns and finishing of the ornaments are perfect! I’m sure Grandma loves seeing her sampler wall of grands and great grands.
Lovely gifts stitched for the family. You have been busy.
What wonderful gifts you gave in 2025, Leonore. I really love that color combination in the pretty blanket and your cross stitch finishes are so cute! I especially love Grumpy Cat :) I stitched him for my middle son a few years ago, too. Hope this last week of January is a good one! ♥
Greetings Leonore: Congratulations on the beautiful blanket and all the finishing on the sweet ornaments.
Catherine
