Advent Day 17
Oooo today's present that Jorja gave to me was some pretty snowman napkins! I just love using special holiday napkins and these have snowmen on them!!!
Aren't they just wonderful!!!???
And I want to get around to posting my other Anniversary picture that our son took before leaving to go to that "mystery" dinner that Ted had planned. He was very secretive of where we were going for our anniversary dinnere as we have been trying out different restaurants locally. He took me to The Melting Pot where we had a wonderful 4 course meal that I must say was absolutely delicious. Here is the picture that Daniel took though before we left. I thought it turned out really nice!
Have a great stitching day! I hope to!

Advent Day 16
Today's gift was a fun silly gift (according to Jorja)! But I simply adored it! We all need to have fun and be silly sometimes. It was a Solar Dancing Flower and Jorja said they have 2 sitting in their windowsills!!! I just LOVE IT!! This flower moves from side to side just holding it so I can't wait to put it in a window to see it dance.......esp living here where we have so much sun all the time.
Sorry for the messy table. I've been wrapping presents and just left this roll of paper out last night. Oops.....oh well. I'm sure there will be something else to wrap before too long.

A gift for a friend....
I xstitched up Vee and Co design O Holy Night using Hand Dyed Fibers Motes of Night on 28ct White Opalescent lugana fabric. I made the ornament into a stand up cube and displayed it next to my German muscial nativity for picture purposes only. I really hope he likes it.
Now I need to make another one for myself to have for display too! But I think I will use 36ct white opalescent insteand to make it a little smaller. We'll see.
The instructions to make the stand up cube were found on The Twisted Stitcher's tutorials. I've printed them off to have on my sewing room work table to refer to when finishing projects.
I LOVE making Christmas gifts to give to special people!

Advent Day 15.....
Today, I got a flipchart full of borders to cross stitch on towels or small projects. It's sooo cool as there are designs on the front and backside of each little slide with one main keycode at the end.
As my friend Rae from the Tranquil Stitches board, who was my Advent recipient this year, said she was happy ... yet sad too.... the other day because we were already halfway through the Advent Season. Time seems to be going so fast these days and everyone seems to be "filling" up each and every day instead of slowing down to enjoy the season.
I know I am one who is usually done and over with a lot of things before now but it seemed like I kept waiting for my husbands family to draw names. However, I did go ahead and buy other presents ahead of time and tried to get that all prepared up ahead of time as well and just waited for his family when they finally did draw names. I just got that package to them mailed off the other day. Hopefully they won't wait as long next year to draw names but we'll see.
Be sure to take the time this season to really enjoy the true meaning of Christmas and the birth of our Saviour and not get caught up in the holiday shopping, gift giving, and "retail" side of it. Take time for your family and for renewing your spirit and let's keep Christ in Christmas!

Advent Day 14.....
Today, Jorja gifted me with a chart from Glory Bee called "Welcome". It is very nice and will look nice when I can get around to stitching it and to hang it when you come in the door.
Happy Stitching everyone!
