Christmastide Sampler part 5

I've been following the SAL plan for The Christmastide Sampler by Hands on Design.  Today was Day 5 and we've been working on the Wreath with a Candle row.  The circular wreath is a symbol of eternal life or the circle of the seasons as well as being a symbol of love.  The white candle represents the color of Christmastide.  According to the plan I'll be working on the wreaths for 3 days so I probably won't update until the wreaths are   done.  I'm showing a closeup of the wreath...there is a lot of detail in them.  They took longer to stitch than I expected, but I truly love how they look when finished.  

I've been working on the 12 Santas of Christmas by Prairie Schooler after I finish the day's portion of the SAL.  I'm almost finished with the 5 Golden Rings.  By the next update I should have it finished.  I'll show a picture of it then.  

I'm still trying to fully finish a few things before the year is up...and I remembered I had finished  stitching these letters from the Prairie Schooler Christmas Alphabet awhile ago.  I had been thinking about how I would attach the letters to the block, and then I remembered a conversation I had with the owner of The Salty Yarns.  She mentioned using magnets on other items I am going to stitch, so I could switch things out for the different seasons...and I thought I could do that with these blocks too.  On a trip to Hobby Lobby I found some thin magnets that I thought would do the trick...so I attached them and voila'!  

Now I'm on the hunt for more alphabets that would work on these 2" blocks.  I bought them from a friend who was downsizing and wasn't going to use them, so I don't know where they came from but I did see they had some on Amazon.  So...that's all I have for today.
