Two Christmas decorations

I have just spent hours of the last few days decorating the house for Christmas. I have so many decorations and it takes so long to put everything around the house and to decorate the tree. It is almost done!

I finished this lovely decoration for a gift (I think) this week. The painted decoration in the centre is one of Barb's at Theodora Cleave. The way it is mounted is from a pattern by Marg Low and I bought the pattern and decorations from Marg. I am very pleased with it and hope to have time to do the others in my stash as gifts (or perhaps for me).

I have also had fun stitching this lovely Christmas stitchery. It is a stamp belonging to Linda and she suggested I have some fun with the stamped fabric. Just realised that I haven't stitched the tree trunk!
