I don’t know about you, but where I live, it’s cold outside! And cold means mittens in our house. I love mittens, we have piles of them! There’s something sweet and wintery about mittens that gloves just can’t touch. So these mitten ornaments are right up my alley, and I bet they’ll be up yours too. The embroidery on these mittens can be anything from a simple snowflake to a complicated pattern to no decoration at all. They are adorable either way!
