anyway... i ended up with some echo scraps (from my "sekret exchange" present!!) and was determined to do something with them, so here they are:
i think that if you look at the zig-zags from far enough away, you can't tell what a disaster the stitching is. maybe? well, these two will definitely be staying right here at home to hang on our tree.

Hey! Lol! This scarf is my fav! As far as ornaments go, I have no crafty ability, but my great-grandmother gave left me an ornament made from tin. It's a carousel, and when the lights on the tree heat it up, it spins around. I love it. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Love the echo stockings, and they don't look amiss at all! My poor mother has a collection of angel ornaments I made from q-tips and scraps of lace and ribbon. As a crafty child I never let lack of proper materials hold me back! Love the scarf, that one is my favorite color of all the amh pastry line voiles.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entering for the scarf, but just saying "hey" and hope you feel better! I think the stockings are cute. Believe it or not, I have been totally stressed about making my "sekret" gift ... baking is really my talent, and I've been feeling like whatever I make won't live up to whatever cool things everyone else is making. Is that completely nuts, or what?! Ugh, deep-seated inferiority complex surrounded by creative people!
ReplyDeleteMy brothers and I each have tiny wooden soldier ornaments in different colors. I have really good memories about looking for those three little guys in the tree every year! Now they hang in different trees, in different states, but they still hold the same great memories. Definitely one of my favorite ornaments!
ReplyDeleteHello sweet lady! Thank you so much for linking to my tutorial and my shop. I love your Echo stockings! So fun to see them being made by someone else, I think they turned out super cute. That mustard color is so fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely entering the giveaway for the scarf. LOVE it.
Hard to say what my favorite ornament is. Definitely the handmade ones by friends and family!
PS: Forgot to tell you we got your Christmas card. Beautiful! Thank you. You'll be receiving our emailed family greeting, ahem, when uh, the photos are taken.
One of my favorite ornaments is a little crocheted stocking I made when I was in high school. It is red, white and green and measures about 3 inches tall. Now, if I could just find the pattern I could make a few more for our tree.

I hope you are recovering well, RG!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love these scarves and I am going to get one today for my very hard to shop for mom-in-law! I think she will love it!
My favorite ornaments don't even hang on my own tree yet- my mom made them when I was little They are called Dolls of the World and each one is from a different country! They are so detailed and cute! My mom was a crafter in the 70's and 80's and won all these awards for her ornaments and Barbie clothes, so I guess my creative mind comes from her! and she taught me how to sew...!
My favorite ornaments are the ones my kids made when they were little. We laugh every year when we put them on the tree.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give away
being a peachey my favorite is the pair of peaches we have that stand for love & fertility!
ReplyDeleteI love that scarf! It's so beautiful! My favorite ornament is a giant ball with Belle standing on top. We got it when my husband and I were just starting to date and went to Chicago to Christmas shop for our families.
ReplyDeletelove the scarf- very pretty! i love handmade ornaments- there are tons on our tree... and when you have the tree lit with just the christmas lights you can't see any of the mishaps in stitching ;)
ReplyDeleteHey there! My favorite ornament is a beautiful hand-carved wooden ornament from the city in Germany that we used to live in. It reminds me of their lovely Christmas markets and the good times we had. :) Thanks for hosting this giveaway, and Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeletelove the scarf! I decided with my daughters that next year we will do all Christmas ornaments handmade
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf! I cherish several vintage ornaments that once graced the trees of my great-grandparents, a great-aunt, and my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful scarf - you are talented! As for ornaments, one of my favorites is one that my daughters made from old Christmas cards and a piece of wood. < sounds odd to read it, looks great though!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is a wee walnut shell with a little baby in it and stars over the top.
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful scarf!
What lovely fabric choices! I know how soft the voile it and would love to wear this scarf around my neck. Thanks for your generosity!
ReplyDeletestephensons4 at embarqmail dot com
What a lovely scarf. My favourtite ornament is a plain popcorn garland around the tree. Simple but fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, thanks for a chance. One of my favorite ornaments is a glass circle with an etching of my oldest child's footprint from when she was born. Now that she is almost 12, it is amazing how fast time goes by.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful- I've been drooling over these scarves- love your choice of fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteI used to have this ornament that had an ice cream cone on the bottom of a red ball. Every year I took a tiny bite of the cone--gross, I know. One year we had a flood in our basement apartment and the ornament was destroyed, much to my husband's delight! :)
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at the scrappy stocking ornaments, and thinking 'I should make some of those-they are adorable!' Maybe I will break out my scrap stash this afternoon and get some going... The scarf is GORGEOUS too! Hope your arm is healing up well-I know that it's so HARD to just not do anything!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!

ReplyDeletejoyfullyhis11atgmaildotcom
I've been eyeing these beautiful infinity scarves all around blogland. I would love to win, especially this beautiful one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
My favorite ornament is a large glass ball that is hand painted with the nativity scene. It is very fragile and was a gift from my college best friend and roommate. It is not on the tree this year b/c I have a baby that likes to investigate the tree but maybe next year it will return. :)
ellisonlane(at)gmail(dot)com
Beautiful scarf! I think my favorite ornaments are those from my childhood that had my name on them. I just remember having an inordinate fondness for them because they were just for me.
ReplyDeleteWe always had some glass bells for out Xmas tree when I lived at home. NO idea where they came from but I think of them every Xmas.
ReplyDeletestashavalanche[at]gmail[dot]com
Gorgeous scarf! My favourite ornies are the ones from my grandmother. She was a folk artist and would paint each grandchild a ornament for each Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway
Sarah @ http://kiwigetscrafty.blogspot.com
Love the scarf, so pretty! My favourite ornament is a Santa Mickey Mouse that my mother bought ages ago at Disneyworld (probably 25 years ago).
ReplyDeleteTerrific giveaway! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful scarf! This is the first year my family has had a real tree, we made popcorn string with my 4 year old son this weekend. Definitely his favorite "ornament"...he keeps asking when he can eat it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament was made by my mother-in-law. She took an old quilt made by her mother that couldn't be salvaged and made Christmas stocking ornaments from it. They are gorgeous and each kid and grandkid got one.
ReplyDeleteI adore the echo stockings! Oh I must break down and buy LOTS of this fabric. And lovely scarf. I have a few that i've given away but never keeping one myself.
ReplyDeleteAn ornament that I am fond of is a crocheted Santa. It's been on my tree since I was little. Oh the small things we pass on to our family.
I love those German wooden ornaments... they remind me of my childhood living in Germany.
ReplyDeletehey, an angel made out of a lace handerchief, each time I look at it I remember each of my kids cuddling with this little angel
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful colors on teh scarf. And I'm sure it feels lovely!
ReplyDeleteAs for an ornament story... Every year since he was born my husband has received a special ornament from his mom. But wouldn't you know it... he'd go an marry a Jewish girl {me!}.
My favorite ornament of all time is a candy cane smocked ornament that my mom made years ago. Every year growing up, I made sure I was the one who hung it on the Christmas tree. My mom graciously gave it to me when I was all grown up and it is now the most fought over ornament in my house!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I LOVE scarves!
ReplyDeletei'm a bit of an ornament nazi.. we have colored balls and cream flat lenox ornaments on our tree. anything my husband brought to our marriage gets hung on the back...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scarf! My favorite ornament on our tree is the hand painted bulb my mom made and gave to me and my husband on our first Christmas together. It has all kinds of sentimental value. :)

ReplyDeleteI hope I still get an entry even though I don't celebrate Christmas and therefore have no ornament story! Love the scarf!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is a cross-stitched teddy bear given to me by my best friend when we were in high school. I bring it out every year, and every year it brings a smile to my face.
Enjoy all of the new visitors to your blog this week, and thanks for the opportunity to join in!
Love the scarf!
ReplyDeleteI love the ornaments we've gotten while traveling. great scarf!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is a set I have of penguins standing on peppermints. They are so cute! Love the scarf!
ReplyDeletei love the scarf!
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf. We don't have many actual ornaments on our tree. About ten years ago we set a $10 price limit and when we traveled or went somewhere new, we would buy something small that we could put on the tree - wooden stars, small pieces of stained glass, etc.
ReplyDeletekristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
I love this! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is this porcelain ballerina I have had for probably 20+ years!! I danced for 13 years of my life and have had to leave it behind, but I love this ornament and it goes on the tree every year!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf colors. When I was a child there was a special angel ornament that I loved. This is our first Christmas in our first home, so none of our ornaments have that special history yet, but I am hoping it develops!
ReplyDeleteI have crochet ice skates that my Grandma made for me when I was little and they are my favorite! She used a paper clip as the skate part :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute! My favorite ornament is a glass blown Hello Kitty ornament I found at Target a few years ago! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornaments are the metal ones that we get from the place where we cut down our tree every year. Each one represents a special memory.
ReplyDeletemy fav ornament is the old Ernie ornament that is always on the front of my moms tree.
ReplyDeleteOooh, how pretty, thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago I decided to make a huge number of new stuffed fabric ornaments for the family tree. We were still churning them out conveyor belt style on the morning of Christmas Eve when my mum suddenly looked at the pile of ornaments, and the tree and we realised they would NEVER all fit on there lol. Maybe I should dig out the remaining unused ones for the next giveaway!
What a pretty scarf.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornaments are the ones my children made when they were younger. Actually, they did not make them, they scribbled all over them and were extremely proud of their accomplishments.
What a pretty scarf! I'm giving away two AMH voile scarves too, but mine are just plain jane scarves, not infinity ones :D
ReplyDeleteOraments? Well, my favourite ornament is a wax one that my mom gave me. She had a whole set of them and when my sister and I were young we were expected to treat them like glass if we touched them, and they always seemed extra special. My mom gave me (and my sister) one from the set a few years back, and it's still my favourite of all. (Although this year I made a bunch of Matryoshka doll ornaments for my family, and they might be my favourite just for the moment...)
Pretty! Thanks for the giveaway. I love making ornaments each year with my daughter--lots of glitter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful scarf! Thank you so much for the chance to win. My favorite ornaments are those made by my mother (red felt dala horses) and my grandmother and great aunts (white crocheted snowflakes.)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the scarf to give to my adult daughter. My favorite ornaments are the ones the kids made when they were little.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up, my sister and I got a Hallmark ornament every year. The only requirement was that it have the year on it somewhere. I have so many Hallmark ornaments now....going all the way back to my first Christmas! Thanks for your giveaway, the scarf is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGosh what a beautiful scarf. I'd love to wear this. We have collected hundreds of ornaments over the 31 years and 3 children in our marriage. The plan was the boys would take theirs when they married. The problem? They are all still single and transient and we have downsized so they sit in boxes. We don't even put up a tree :( Someday we'll open them all up and do it all again
ReplyDeleteb.moews@gmail.com
Lovely scarf! It is so hard to choose a favorite ornament. My mom buys us beautiful german glass ornaments each year. I think that our newest one- a beagle, in honor of our pup Heidi, might be my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf! My favorite ornament is a little bride and groom snow couple that my hubs and I bought during our first married Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteI love homemade ornaments. I have a string of lights that was crocheted by a sister of mine that I absolutely love!
ReplyDeleteHey! The voile scarf is so so pretty! My favorite ornament is some beautiful blown glass ornaments I purchased from crate and barrel a few years ago. They are light amber colored and go with everything,
ReplyDeletelove the scarf!!! I have ornaments (Really simple wood ones) i bought in Jerusalem. My faves.
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf. Last year we had a tiny tree (taken from our yard) and I only put up 6 ornaments. A little bit Charlie Brown but I liked it anyway.
ReplyDeleteoh, I've seen these on other blogs and my interest is piqued! thank you for offering one out to blogland!!
ReplyDeletelove the scarf! My favorite ornament is one my kid made in preschool. It's a photo of him pasted on a glittery star. Many years later it's falling apart, and getting very frayed.

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful scarf! each year, we make or buy ornaments to add to our collection that mean something related to that year's christmas (like a crystal snowflake for the year we were snowed in at a family reunion), and i keep a notebook where it's all written down so we can remember. :)

Love the scarf! So pretty! My favorite ornament is an angel my grandmother gave me many years ago. Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteI have a truly hideous yellow papier mache fish ornament I made in Elementary school. I love it because it bothered my parents for years and now it bothers my husband (it really is that ugly) and I love making them squirm by placing it front and center on the tree!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is a little precious moments girl holding a bunny. It's adorable and reminds me of me as a kid!
ReplyDeleteI love scarfs is my favorite thing. Recently my kids and I made some felt ginger man ornaments, they turn out really cute. :) Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of this scarf make me think of raspberry jam! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornaments are my glass icicles and tatted snowflakes.
This scarf is so pretty, thanks for a chance to win. One of my favorite ornaments is a handmade glass hummingbird we bought in North Carolina. I love taking it out of its box at the beginning of the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI collect antique ornaments and my favorite by far is my 1940's tree topper. Just a long thin glass cone with a star-burst type bulb about halfway up. Sometimes I use it on a shelf for decoration year round, many people never guess what it is, they just love it.
ReplyDeleteThis cowl is adorable! It would look wonderful with my new coat!
your scarf is amazing - thank you for the awesome giveaway! My favorite ornament is a cute little elf that's from the 1960s that I played with every year while growing up. i love it as much today as I did back then - but just don't play with it as much!

Your stockings are cute! sorry about the hand! My ornament story: My friends and I were going to do an ornament exchange one year and I worked a really long time on a cross-stitch ornament of a christmas tree that came out so fabulous I did not want to give it up. Well, the ornament exchange was cancelled, can't remember why now, and I got to keep my little tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!

ReplyDeleteThe scarf is lovely! and the stockings are so cute....I just made some ornaments with stars and yarn at V's school yesterday,http://buzzmills.typepad.com/blog/2011/12/preschool-projects.html ornament making is ia bit addicting, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite ornament changes every year...or, perhaps everyday...depending. Violet keeps asking what our favorite ornament is today?...I am finding joy is passing the favoritism around!! Have a great day!
My siblings and I all have these cheap little ornaments that we've had since we were little. Mines a little swan. They are cheap but special!

I don't have a favorite ornament, but I can share when my oldest daughter was 2, she called them "on mints".. I was impressed she was able to say something close enough!
ReplyDeleteI love your voile scarf!
ReplyDeleteMost of my favourite ornaments are the ones made by my children!!

ReplyDeleteThe stockings you posted are cute too- and no, I didn't look too closely to look for errors;)
I get a different ornament for our boys each year for the tree, so when they grow up, they'll have an ornament for each year to take with them. This year, my toddler got a blue felt car with his name and the year on it.
We have an ornament that is a baby in a walnut shell basinet. But it has creepy alien eyes and we call it "nut baby" and hide it on the tree for people to find and be afraid of! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf. My favorite Christmas ornament with a Lenox clear Snoopy with a red stocking hat holding a candy cane.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful scarf! I'm a sucker for glass Christmas pickle ornaments!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, we always had little snowmen with parachutes as ornaments on our tree. They were made entirely of wood - including the parachute - and were obviously too heavy to sail through the air. And yet, I always would try them, you know, "just in case."
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf. My favourite ornament is one my Sunday School teacher, Nora, gave to me when I was 5 years old! It's a little beaded wreath and I put it on my tree every year.
ReplyDeleteI love the soft pink color! Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is my little golden trombone that I've had ever since elementary school.
The stockings are so cute! :) My favourite decoration is tinsel, especially the kind with little holly leaves and berries through it.
ReplyDeletekate1485 at hotmail.com
Lovely wrap... thanks for the chance to win it! No real ornament anticdotes, other than our tree is kinda funny this year - no ornaments lower than three feet so my one-year-old son can't reach them and either soak them in his mouth, break them, or choke on them.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf! Really love your ornaments too! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things is to get all the ornaments out and remember who made what and remembering where we got this...it is fun!
ReplyDeleteHey! :) My favorite ornament is one I made in school, it is a little bluebird in a nest. Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteMy fave holiday ornaments are beaded figures (santa, elves, snowmen) made by my late grandmother.
My favorite ornament is the one I have from the year I was born. My parents bought one each time they had a new child-- it was my favorite thing to do to find my Christmas ball and move it to the "perfect" location growing up.

I have a crib set bought by my Grandparents in the 50's. However they had very little money, so bought a few pieces every year, so we have Shepherds twice the size of The Holy Family and the three Kings are tiny! It has also gotten rather roughed up over the years, but it has had such a journey that I have to put it up each year!
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite ornament is crocheted snowflakes which unfortunately I cannot make!

ReplyDeleteI love Christmas ornaments but I have so many!! Sadly this year I decided that they couldn't possibly all go on the tree again so I've put some aside. I know I'll still get new ones again this year though! I might need to tell my mom, no more!
My family has a tradition, ominously called "The Box" in which the person who last received the box gives an ornament and a poem to another family member. It's continued for 28 years and counting! akmajor (at) gmail (dot) com

ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf!!
ReplyDeleteI love handmade Christmas ornaments. The crazier they are, the better. Currently our tree is covered in ornaments from my childhood and my husband's childhood. Lots of hand-embroidered birds, crocheted animals and even a festive felt seahorse! (or possibly a Loch Ness Monster.. I'm not really sure). Thanks for the giveaway!
I just love this scarf and I bet it is super soft. My favorite ornaments are the ones my kids made in preschool where their precious little faces are on them.

Lovely scarf! Every year my Mom would take us to the Hallmark store and let us pick out an ornament for the tree. And when we've gotten married, she's fished through the Christmas boxes and pulled out all of our ornaments so that our first Christmas tree would have ornaments on it. Now I love looking through my ornaments with my kids and showing them what I picked at their age or showing them what I made in first grade for example. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway. Thanks for participating. The scarf is lovely. We have lots of ornaments. My favorite ones might be the ones we have picked out on vacation.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf... beautiful colors! My favorite ornaments are the ones my kids make each year. I love unwrapping them and hanging them on the tree and remembering when they made them. Happy Holidays!

When my eldest son was little they made Christmas ornaments at school. He was so proud of his he wouldn't let me put it on the tree it had to go above his bed and he slept with it there for a year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf thanks for the giveaway.
I love the scarf! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThose ornaments are so cute! And the scarf is lovely. :) A funny ornament story: there are two ornaments in my parents' collection that they've had since before they had kids, and that my sister and I used to fight over when we were little. We both wanted to be the one to put them on the tree. And now as grown-ups whenever we come to those two ornaments we look at one another awkwardly and then have one of those "You can put it on..." "No, you go ahead..." moments. So ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteWhen my daughter was 2, she made a felt tree shape ornament and glued googly eyes all over it! Still one of my favorite ornaments.
ReplyDeleteThe first year my husband and I celebrated christmas, our christmas tree fell over at 2 in the morning. My husband was already awake and stood the tree back up and then realized he was stuck so yelled for me until I woke up. It's funny to me now, but not at the time.
ReplyDeleteI've just taken part in a scrappy Christmas decoration swap and mailed mine off today, I received some gorgeous little stockings - with chocolates inside! Now we need to get a tree to hang them on! I made birds for my partner and some little houses, will have to wait and see what she thinks.
ReplyDeleteA very gorgeous scarf I can just imagine how lovely it feels - would love to win, thanks so much for the chance!
my mom would LOVE this scarf! She always took us to pick out our own special ornament on Christmas Eve and then we became adults and moved out, she presented us with a box full of our ornaments. It was such a nice way to start our adult lives.
ReplyDeleteYour talent continues to astound me. I love the scarf! I am so proud to be your friend! Love you, Jen H.
ReplyDeleteI would love this scarf. My favorite ornaments are the mercury glass ones... they are all crackly and look beautiful next to the white lights on the tree.
ReplyDeleteOne year my mother made gingerbread ornaments for the tree. They had extra spices and were for decorating. The house smelled delicious for all of christmas. The next year they came out again and we used them again. And some of the children may or may not have nibbled on them. This went on for probably 5 years. Yes they lasted that long and yes people still nibbled on them. Sounds gross now...
ReplyDeletePretty! I made mini elf stocking ornaments this year. Thank you. mamalusco at ortelco dot net
ReplyDeletePretty scarf! My favorite ornament is one from my childhood that has a pinwheel in it. When you hang it right over a tree light, it spins. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I don't have a favorite ornament - I love them all! I do like making new ornaments with my daughter every year. That's a special tradition.
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering this!

An ornament anecdote... One year I made Christmas ornaments that looked like gingerbread people. They weren't real gingerbread. Like there was three cups of salt in the recipe. While we were out of the house, our basset hound ate several of them from the tree. All that was left was the ribbon. You've never seen a dog drink so much water! Thanks for the chance to win your lovely scarf.
