This one is for my niece, Elizabeth. She is such a little girly girl, after my own heart. She loves princesses and has decided that we, along with our cousin Kerri, are all princesses. Naturally, she had to have a Princess Ornament to match mine. (I did hers in girly pink and green though)
It's a freebie from Cyberstitchers, available here. I used some small sequins and matching beads to fancy it up a little. Now I just have to finish stitching up Kerri's!
And this one is for my nephew, who is as enamored of knights as his sister is of princesses. He has quite a collection of play swords and shields, and I thought he'd love this. He actually helped me stitch on it a little over Christmas. I'd put the needle in the right hole and he'd pull it through. I was amazed that he sat still for as long as he did and took as much interest - he's only four. But red is one of his favorite colors and knights are his favorite thing, so that could have something to do with it! (Not to mention the boy LOVES to get presents, and I'm pretty sure he wanted me to stitch it faster.)
This is a freebie from Tantes Zolder, available here.

What fantastic finishing Jennifer! I know they will love them :o)
Lovely gifts. Unlike you I'm not a girly girl so the knight one appeals far more and I'd never think to fancy a design up the way you did.
Hi Jennifer!
I love your presents. I wouldn't be scared when I always had a knight like this one by my side ...:)
Have a nice day & hugs, Carolien
