I made a batch of these ornaments after a few requests on etsy for something Christmassy. I really enjoyed making them — I used wool felt in dark grey, red and white, and embroidered each one with white of grey thread. They are backed with recycled fabrics – bits of Liberty and kimono silk, mostly. Wool roving inside. And the edges are sewn together with tiny blanket stitches.
Things I have noticed and admired this weekend:
– this album, which I'm currently re-discovering (I played it a lot when it first came out) Orkney: Symphony of the Magnetic North, which is very evocative and beautiful.
– this shawl I would like to cast it on right now.
– an inspiring interview: Joanna Newsom talking with Tavi Gevinson on Rookie.

Are you making any ornaments for the holidays?
I could post a template + embroidery pattern for download, in case you feel like making a set of my decorations for yourself?
