I hope all of you had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was filled with lots of loved ones and food!
In addition to making the keepsake stockings, (you can read about them here) I also made Christmas Ornaments using one of my Mom’s sweaters.
Each ornament has buttons from my Mom’s sewing box.
On Thanksgiving Day I gave the ornaments to Mom’s grandchildren and the keepsake stockings to my brother and sister. From now on, my Mom will remain a part of everyone’s Christmas.
Blessings,
Gail

These are really pretty and it's so nice to have a story when you look at them. Thanks for the great idea! I may try to make something similar.
ReplyDeleteI loved the keepsake stockings when you posted those and I love these little ornaments too. Your mother will be remembered every time her children and grandchildren look at the keepsakes you made.
