2014 will be bringing a new party to the Cabin and Cottage….a Christmas Ornament Party. My friend Claudia from Mockingbird Hill Cottage will be helping me out and hosting the party over at her blog as well, bringing you twice the fun.
I know you all thinking I am so over Christmas and can’t even begin to think about making ornaments for 2014 but isn’t it a great idea to make 2 ornaments every month starting in January and by the time Christmas rolls around you will have 24 new ornaments? It’s a great way to be ahead of the game and it will only take about 15 minutes per ornament to make. I actually put mine together in the truck while hubby drives. These make great gifts for family and friends. The best part is you can make them for under 20¢.
Here’s how it will work; we will post 2 felt ornament patterns the first week of every month along with a material list. You will have until the end of the month to make your ornaments and we’ll be back hosting a linky party where you all can share your beautiful handmade ornaments. Sounds like fun right? I can’t wait to see how creative you all are. Now remember we will have the monthly ornament available for you to download so what could be easier?
I will be back later in the week with more information and a sneak peek at what we’ll be making. I hope everyone will be joining in 🙂
This looks like a fun linky to join in with throughout the year. It’s never too early to start planning for Christmas.
Linda thanks for stopping. I hope you will join in, it’s a great way to keep yourself accountable and accomplish those tasks that creep up on us quickly the month of December 🙂
Happy New Year, Dawn! This sounds cute. I’ve made little felt ornaments for the past year for my grand daughter little white lit tree. I’ve made every season and finished with Christmas ones this year. I just kinda copy catted mine! 🙂 I’ll think about doing this.
Here’s to another year of blogging with you
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Shelia you would be perfect for this. Your Tilda dolls are adorable and I know your ornaments would be the same. Can’t wait to have you join in 🙂
Sounds like fun!! Count me in!!
Deb cant wait to see your creativity with the ornaments.
YOu are thinking ahead, Dawn! Brilliant! I love the idea of having 12 gorgeous ornaments for next Christmas!
Happy New Year, friend!

Lou Ann, I am getting excited! It will be so fun to see what everyone comes up with!
I am not the least bit crafty so I am going to attempt to do this each month just to push myself this New Year.
Ann, these are so simple to do even a kid can do them, so Im sure you will have no trouble at all. I am glad to have you onboard 🙂
Love this idea! I am a burlap ornament maker who was already planning new ornaments for next year so you are spot on, It is never too early time flies quickly! Looking forward to the challenge!
Peggy
Peggy, I am so glad you will be joining us. I bet you could even incorporate some burlap into these ornaments 🙂

What a great idea! I always think I’m going to be ahead of the game, but I end up scrambling for small gifts at the last minute.
Vickie, I even like the idea of doing things with your hands and creating something homemade. I am having great fun and it is relaxing to put these ornaments together. Hope you join us!
Hi there, Just found your site and was wondering about some of your felt patterns. How can i get them. Really like the dear and would like it for Christmas tree ornament. Thank you.
