Advent Day 21





Merry Christmas!  I love the little reindeer on the EMS Advent today, he's one of my favorites!  

Seems the closer we get to the 25th, the faster the days go!  I am not going near any shops now...haha.  People are getting desperate so I'll leave the last minute rush to them.  Sometime this weekend (while trying to marathon stitch for ISHW which is this weekend too) I hope to fit in a little bit of wrapping.  Thankfully I have some gift bags, that should shorten my wrapping time...haha.  The kids didn't want traditional gifts this year so that cut down on shopping too, but they wanted "Adventures" sooooo...that took more mental gymnastics to figure out.  I hope they like what we decided.  

I'm happy to announce that Christmas All Through The House is finished!!  I hope to get it framed next month.  I'm still trying to figure out how I will accomplish that, so I think I might take it to a different framer with more choices of frames.  I wish the shop I used to work in was still around.    




I'll be working on Sarah Sanderson by The Scarlett House for the rest of the weekend.  I set her aside to get some Christmas stitching done but once I picked it up last night, I realized how much I love stitching on her.  I finally made it to the right hand corner (always a relief when you know it's going to fit on your fabric!)  Those little animals were fun to stitch, as well as the flowers in the corner.  I'm not a fan of alphabets, but those are next to accomplish!  LOL!!  One of my goals this year will be to finish her (hopefully in time for the fair).  



Ok, so that's all the news for now.  I thought the pattern from Running With Needles & Scissors was so cute today!  You'll have to take a peek in the page if you want to see pictures.  I'm off to enjoy my Egg McMuffin from Mickey D's...our Saturday morning treat.  I'm so spoiled!  Happy Saturday and Happy Stitching!!
