I decided to let the December ornament be a surprise. (Turns out it's hard to think up a new theme each month!) I wasn't sure what to make until I saw this "Stable" pattern from Mollie of Wild Olive. Mollie provides a PDF with all the pattern pieces; I used freezer paper to temporarily secure them to my felt so that I could more easily cut them out. A bit of embroidery to secure each piece, and it was pretty much done.
Mollie's pattern leaves the back of the stable exposed, but I decided to cover my stitches with another piece of brown felt. I made this one for my niece Hannah, to mark her first Christmas with the family. I hope she enjoys putting this one on the tree each year.
