A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS

The suggestion was made of a Christmas decoration each for Caitlin and Ronan ( her little son) so they could build up a collection for when Ronan was old enough to be interested in putting decorations on the Christmas tree. I don't know if I would be still stitching for enough Christmases to make it a worth while collection, after all Ronan is only a few months old and I am 82 years. 

Change of plans, Caitlin and I decided on a theme we are calling it "' A Child's Christmas" and it is inspired by decorations found on Pinterest by a Dutch designer  Atelier Wilma Creatief   These are mainly animals  with the colour scheme of caramel and white  means they could be used on other occasions,  and we would stitch them together for every one Caitlin makes I will add two! and maybe by this Christmas there will be a nice collection ready for the future.

First one stitched was the bear...This was made by Caitlin with a little help from me we enjoy stitching together so fun to be working on the same project.. Its my bear pattern with wings as seen on the Dutch decorations.

I then stitched the Turtle  as seen on Pinterest just loved his smile.

Next I adapted my little fox to add to the collection.  

The next group of decorations we stitched were-

An Owl stitched by Caitlin and I added an elephant and a giraffe 

I will continue to share with you as the collection grows off now to decide what I will stitch next.
