Packing Up Christmas

 

Packing up Christmas . . .

when do you do it?

I've started a new quilt, 

good Lord willing

it will be my first of 2026.

Here are a few photos 

of it in progress 😊

I'm able to use up 

a lot of my scrapes.

This is what my design

board looks like at the

moment. 

As I pack a way my Christmas

decorations there's a bit of sadness

that goes with it.

I look forward to Christmas

and hate to see it 

go so soon.

As we enter into a 

New Year

remember . . .

Trust Him 

He is ever faithful.

Trust Him

for He is the best!

Trust Him

for the heart of Jesus

Is the only place of rest.

God Bless You All

&

Happy New Year.

Recycled Christmas Angels

 

 

This is my mantle 

this year.

Look closely at 

the lowest mantle shelf.

There you'll see 

my recycled

Christmas Angels. 

I made these from recycling 

and cutting up

last year's Christmas cards. 

Then adding clipart wings 

and cutting out the faces 

from photos that I took 

on my phone and 

then ran through the printer.

Then I glued them to a 

piece of 2X4 that I painted

white  . . . so they 

would stand up.

 

These are the ladies 

from my Bible study. 

They are not actual angels 

but they are prayer warriors 

and true believers 

in Jesus Christ our Lord. 

I thought it would be fun 

to have them lined up 

on my mantle this Christmas.

 

There are two angels 

without faces because 

they missed the last two 

Bible studies when I was 

taking photos and there are two 

more angels to make 

because two have been hospitalized 

for surgeries and still recovering.

 

Hopefully next Christmas 

I'll have them all there. 

I wanted to show this because 

it was a fun craft 

and something you could easily make.

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Wouldn't it be wonderful 

to have a row of grandchildren 

angels or the children 

in your Sunday school class.

That's my post for today.

I hope it inspired at least one of you.

Merry Christmas

&

 God bless you all!

Pot Holders & Dish Towels

My potholders were getting worn

 and stained so it seemed like a great

time to make some new ones.

After making them, I decided 

to use the same patterns

and embroider two new 

dish towels to match.

I haven't used the embroidery device

 on my sewing machine in a very long time.  

These patterns were in the memory 

of the machine and came with it, 

but I have many patterns 

that I have purchased, that I am 

now having trouble downloading 

into my machine. 

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  

If anyone has an idea

I would greatly appreciate 

your input. 

I'm wondering if I forgot 

how to do it,

 

or if because of technology 

it's all obsolete.

Anyway; I did have fun

taking a break from making gifts 

to making something for myself.

I do enjoy pretty things

in the kitchen:) 

Well that's my latest post,

Thanks for stopping by ☺️
