A little Christmas cheer??

I tell ya I will take "cheer" of any kind :) And have honestly found it in the kindness of my readers. Thank you ALL so much for being there and for your sweet, sweet words and thoughts and prayers for my family. I feel so overwhelmed by the email I have received and the love being shown. I wish I could convey to each of you personally just how much it means to me. MY CUP RUNNETH OVER!!!!!

I have been doing anything I can to occupy my mind and keep my hands busy-stitching and cleaning/organizing always works for me. Today I found this cute Santa that I stitched some years ago...he was lost found among some fabrics and I did not know he was there until organizing the fabrics and he fell out. SO, I put the finishing touch on him and here he is! Cute huh? I am offering this to a blog reader-if you would like for Mr. Santa to come live at your house please leave a comment on THIS POST ONLY and I will draw a name in a day or so.
He is adorned with a tiny jingle bell and beads and backed with a lovely holly print.
I don't have the details as I stitched him a few years back-but I DO know he was a freebie!





I mailed off 2 gifts to blog readers today-please let me know when they arrive :)

Thank you all so much for stopping by for a visit. I appreciate your visits so much more than you can know!!

Happy stitching!
hugs and love from SC,
BeckySC

Hi Becky,
Oh my- I was going through some of my linens last night as I was looking for a piece to stitch on. What do I come across? A sampler I stitched a couple of years ago and totally forgot all about! Isn't it nice to come upon an old 'friend'?
Your finishes always amaze me. You do such lovely work. I would be honored to have one of your pieces. Thanks for the opportunity to potentially receive one.
You and yours remain in my thoughts and prayers!

-Sherry-
