Gift for my mom :)

WEll...talk about waiting until the last minute and deciding at an inopportune time (while entertaining others :) )....but yesterday I decided I wanted to stitch this design for my mom :) I have loved this design from the moment I saw it and knew I would stitch it for myself or friend/family. This will work so well (the colors go with the other gifts) with the other gifts I have for my mom for Christmas -the others have nothing whatsoever to do with stitching or anything I made-but this piece will work as an accessory :):)
I finished it off on a wood piece that I had hubby cut and sand for me. I used a stain that mom will enjoy and mounted the stitched piece on the wood adding trim/pins and ribbon. I decided to compliment the DMC 115 by using a darker trim and a lighter ribbon.





Merry Christmas

Last week brought gifts from Myra and Joan in AZ :) Thank you so much ladies for thinking of me :) I just adore both gifts :)
From Joan some LOVELY Gingerbread fabric and a lovely set of gingerbread buttons that didn't make it into the picture as they were tucked away for safe travel and only after Joan mentioned them did I find them. I LOVE the fabric and buttons Joan and cannot wait to use them :) Thank you SO very much :)


And from Myra, one of her lovely pouches that has already found it's way into my pocketbook :) I just LOVE the fabric she used :) Thanks you dear Myra :)


Our celebrations start this week and we have something to go to everyday :) I am so excited and looking forward to good fellowship and YUMMY food and celebrating this glorious season!

I hope you find JOY and Blessings this week and always!
