Advent Day 22

Merry Christmas!  As my cousin says...only three more sleeps!  Are you getting excited yet?  It's the Fourth Sunday of Advent and today we celebrate Faithfulness ... Blessed are they who believe.  Knowing Jesus brings us Joy, and Peace, and Hope because He is faithful to us.

  

Well I had high hopes of getting my wrapping done, but...well you know what they say about the best laid plans...so now I'm forced to get it all done today.  Yesterday the kids asked me (after I offered to have Miss Sassy Pants over for the day) to spend the day with my oldest granddaughter tomorrow.  I need to make meatballs for the Christmas Eve party, too.  So today I will be busy doing all those things.  Hopefully I'll have a little time for stitching (fingers crossed).  

Why didn't I get any of these things done yesterday?  You guessed it, I was STITCHING!  (I also had to cheer for the Ravens...who won by the way!)  I finally picked up Sarah Sanderson again and I made pretty good progress.  When you see the picture it doesn't look like much, but I'm stitching on 46 count, so I'm having to count very carefully, make sure I only stitch over two threads, and honestly those tiny stitches don't cover much...so it looks like I'm stitching at a snails pace.  I'm hoping (but highly doubting) I'll make it off the page I'm working on today.  I only have 7 letters and a little bit of those border lines to make it off the page...wish me luck! 

So that's all the news today.  I hope you are enjoying the season.  Happy Stitching!
