Joyful Purpose

It's begging to look a lot like Christmas around here!

 

 

 

The mad Stitcher is on a mission

I have been stitching away - getting ready for my Christmas gifts.  This year embroidered tea towels and other goodies in the works ;)

 

 

 

 

It's beginning to look a lot like ....

Not actually Christmas!  However, it just so happens that this time of year is when I start thinking about what I will be making for Christmas presents.  I have done this every year, switching it up.  I love giving handmade gifts and find them to be truly meaningful. 

this is what I made last year:

hand crocheted dish towels

This year (since I am on a stitching bent) it is going to be hand embroidered tea towels, and a little something more in the works.

 

I love Christmas

 

Decorations are done and I love the house at this time of year!

 

 

Santa came early ...

I celebrated Christmas with my dear Judi and Family yesterday.  Her daughters made an amazing dinner - yummo and we exchanged gifts - and to my surprise I got a Pogo portable printer that you hook up to your camera!  It prints out these cool small prints with sticky backs so you can stick them in your journal on the go - what a great gift and a great day!  I am blessed all around.

For great Christmas Gifts!

Christmas Gift Creations

Every year I make something to give away for Christmas.  This year I am making hand crocheted cotton dish clothes.  I started about a month ago and have made about a dozen so far.  I am going to wrap them with my cookie baskets and give them away as gifts.

Easy to make, inexpensive, and very durable.
