A lovely tradition from Germany is the Bride's Tree. It is believed that a couple's Christmas tree needs twelve specific ornaments for happiness in their life journey together.
I finally managed to put the final stitches in my January House. This design is from 501 Cross Stitch Patterns, a book that was a gift from a friend. I fell in love with the charming setting of this house and just had to stitch it.
There are 12 themes for ornaments, and you're welcome to pick your own patterns or borrow an idea from someone else. There are no set patterns, only themes. Click here for a full explanation.
