5 in 5 On The 5th

It's been SO long, too long,  since I joined in with Sandie's 5 in 5 On The 5th.  You can find out more about this lovely prompt here:  5-in-5-December-2019

My five today are little handmade, knitted or crochet ornaments I have been gifted over the years.  Each is so very special to me because of the gifter (is there such a word, not according to spell check) & the time it took to make.  Every year when I place out I have a little thought towards the crafter who made (spell check doesn't like this word either).

These five are part of my Christmas Joy

  1. I have a few crocheted ornaments like yours, and I always enjoy seeing them on the tree. I'm particularly impressed by that tree in your bottom photo. I've never seen anything like it.

    1. I like those special meaningful ornaments the best, although not all are made.

  5. I can see why they're special! I have quite a collection of hand-crafted
    ornaments for Christmas and each one brings memories of the person who created it!

    1. The tree always has a special place at Christmas so it is carefully wrapped up at the end of the season.

    1. I would like a few more, but alas that friend has moved on from making & will not be encourage to make more. Not sure how hard it was to make.

    1. Oh no Deb I'm not a crocheter, the tree was a gift from a friend who is very gifted in her many talents, both of the yarn types & food/baking types of crafting.

  10. Mary-Lou, belated best wishes and thanks for joining in with 5in5. I intended to comment at the time but I was at a conference and meant to revisit. Clearly with being away then Christmas I never did! I wanted to say how much I enjoyed your post and seeing your beautiful gifts from friends. Crochet is something I would like to do more of and I am admiring of your friend's skills because I can manage a square and anything else would be a challenge LOL. It is lovely that you pay these decorations respect and think of the gifter (it's a good word regardless what Google says!) when you hang them each year. I hope you had a lovely time over the festive season. I have spent my afternoon packing my Christmas decorations away for another year with intention that next time I will make it a time to enjoy them and appreciate the unwrapping more. Wishing you health and happiness for the coming year xx
