This time of year we have all the wonderful decorations and those delicious , tempting sweets. 
It has always been so much fun to create a gingerbread house each year . 

                                                  Gingerbread House Christmas 2014
It is also a great time to stitch a gingerbread ornament – the no calorie kind!
Here is the one I am working on from Julia’s Needlework Designs that will be a little box with a hinged lid.
                                           I thought I would share some of my favorite stitches for gingerbread. On this one I am using
upright cross stitch.
Some other stitches that work well are  Serendipity, Nobuko, Criss cross Hungarian  and  Woven. Each gives a little texture to the design.

So enjoy stitching and all the season’s goodies!
