Starting the Decorating

One by one, I am digging things out of the bins in the garage. If I keep it up at this rate, it will be time to take them down before I get them all up!

I made this guy (and five others) a couple of years ago. The pattern was in a Christmas craft magazine long gone and forgotten so I can't give credit. Note the blanket stitch........I think if it has blanket stitch, it follows me home.



You can see the edges of my Jim Shore Christmas figures.......more on them tomorrow.

Mr. Snowman looks so happy to be holding the cards. You do such perfect stitching when you do the blanket stitch..guess from all that practice over the years.

Morning Norma, *VBS*, so happy to hear that Ellie is home safely. Hard to lose our children in that or any other way. A Christmas blessing for sure.
The snowman hanging is just adorable and a great way to handle those Christmas cards, blanket stitch or not....LOL. I think you've certainly had a lot of practice.
Hope your holidays are merry and bright, Hugs, Finn
