Got 30 minutes and some cocoa? Let's stitch.


The countdown is on! 🎄

Hi Reader!

There’s still time to make something handmade — even if life is feeling a little twinkly and chaotic right now.

This weekend is the perfect moment to pour a warm drink, cue up your favorite holiday movie or music, and let your hands do something peaceful and joyful: stitching.

Whether it’s for a last-minute gift, a memory for your tree, or just a quiet pause for yourself — I’ve got you covered.

✂️ My Holiday Ornament Bundle

4 sweet designs — 25% off — plus a bonus gift!

When you grab the bundle, you’ll also get:

My Block Alphabet Pattern (great for personalization)


🧵 A downloadable .OTF font you can install and use on tags, cards, ornaments, or anything else you’re crafting this season!


Santa Star embroidered ornament Holiday Bell embroidered ornament
Holiday Reindeer embroidered ornament Holiday Angel embroidery ornament

All designs are beginner-friendly, nostalgic, and sized for quick stitching.


You can also print them on paper for a fun family coloring craft with the kids or grandkids!

🎁 Still time to make them before the tree goes up — or save them as keepsakes to stitch between now and New Year’s.

Wishing you cozy creative moments and a little breathing room this weekend.


You deserve it. 💛

With warm stitches and cocoa,
Sherri 🧵✨
