Advent Day 10

Today's present was a cookbook to make some yummy cookies, candies and bars!  I can't WAIT to have more time to look and read this cookbook that Jorja gave me for today's present!  And I can't wait to TRY making some of them!

I'll let you know what I end up making out of this cookbook!

New Christmas chart!!!!

Oh my stars!  My friend Carol of iStitch Designs has done it again!  She has designed up a new chart called Sew Gigi to stitch with the new Hand Dyed Fibers thread Gigi's Christmas silk.  You can find her chart at this link here!  I absolutely love this new design!  You can find the thread at the Hand Dyed Fiber link here.  However, it is not a regular stock thread at this time but there are ways you can buy this thread.  Just start a thread in the mini forum and get people to sign up for it in whatever size thread you are wanting to buy......SSR (single strand regular), SSP (single strand premium), 6SR (6 strand regular), 6SP (6 strand premium).

So be sure to go and check out the Sew Gigi chart at iStitch.

Happy Stitching!

Advent Day 9

Ohhhh Today's gift came from Jorja for me to use in my sewing room.  She made me an ORT (other remaining threads) basket that will twist down when not in use.  I place it beside my sewing machine and put those little snippets of threads that we all clip when sewing.  I might even have to use this when I'm cross stitching.  It is soooo professionally made and I think I'm going to have to get that pattern from her to make gifts of this for my stitching friends for next year!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Advent Day 8

Today I opened something I was really needing!   It is a card display holder!!  I love it because it says FRIENDS, FAMILY, FAITH with stars in between.  This is soooo wonderful!  Of course, I'll have it filled up in no time!

What a wonderful Advent gift!!!

Advent Day 7.....

Don't you just love giving and receiving FUN holiday gifts???!!!  That's the whole point about our Advent gifts......to be fun, funny, useable, exciting, and sometimes pertaining to cross stitching.

Today's gift was something useful, practical and PAMPERING!!!  I got some Bath Crystals, a Beauty Bar soap and and a pair of Spa Socks!  Oh my....these spa socks are sooooo soft and cozy!  I am seriously thinking of just sleeping in them tonight to keep my feet warm!!!

As you can see from the red tissue paper, I had to squeeze them before opening!!  haha

Advent Day 6.....

On the 6th Day of Advent, Jorja gave to me......this wonderful little notepad that has already been put into my purse!  It is perfect with it's magnetic closure!

I'm always needing a piece of paper to make little notes to myself on.....so I don't forget when I'm out running errands.
