2. Scandia Angel Christmas Ornaments - It's nearly the night before Christmas...and it's not too late for this project! With the ingenious use of Scandia Band, these angel ornaments go together in a jiffy.

3. Grapes and Pineapple Darning - Actually a form of weaving, pattern Darning is an ancient technique you'll see in handcrafts all over the world.

4. Double Reindeer and Snowy Day Handles - A basket overflowing with Cristmas goodies is a warm and welcome gift, made more so by the addition of these delightful basket embellishments designed by Liz Turner Diehl.

9. French Horn with Chickadee - It's the first CS&CCelegant annual Collector's Ornament, designed by Camille Harrison.

10. Nutcracker Christmas Ornament - We'd need a forest of Christmas trees (well, almost!) to display all the wonderful holiday ornaments you sent us!
