Is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas at your house? I am not quite ready to put up Christmas decorations, but it's never too late to start making some. I like to finish the Thanksgiving dishes before I put the tree up. To help with your decorations I have come up with a dozen ornaments that I really like. This list includes five knit, five crochet, and two crafty ornaments for you to choose from. These can be used on your tree, to embellish your wrapped packages or as hostess gifts. There are plenty more to check out on RedHeart.com. It wouldn't be Christmas without a wreath so why not include Wreath Ornaments for your tree? They work up quickly so you can make several.
