💗✨Pink Winter Wonderland✨💗

 Hi friends! Well goodness, I have gotten behind on this here blog. Let me get you caught up first with my corner shelf for December.❄️🦌

🎅Merry Christmas Freebie by Teresa Kogut ⭐

This did not turn out exactly how I envisioned it.🥴 Brian bought me a cute, little pink poinsettia last year, which was in this adorable snowman planter. Well the poinsettia is no longer with us, but I saved the snowman. I thought I could stitch something for the top. 

I decided on Teresa's free Christmas pattern. I did not stitch the entire thing. I picked and chose what I wanted and in order to make it fit in this little space I had to stitch it over one on this 36ct white/natural Edinburgh linen. 

It is actually a little pillow filled with sawdust. I tried filling it with fiberfill first and using thread in a wide circle to kind of drawstring it in. It did not look good at all. I took that apart and sewed this up. It is balancing on top. No one, including Cally, touches my stitching, so it will be fine.

This is from my dear friend Maggee. I love it and needed it for the cubby shelf. I was gifted it done in the pillow form, from the kit, all done up by dear  Shirlee years ago. That one is on my corner shelf. It is so good, I needed two of this❣️

I stitched this two over one on 25ct mystery linen with most of the called for DMC.

And here is my💗✨Pink Winter Wonderland✨💗

Madeleine and I painted the bottle brush trees pink last year. On the left is the smaller of the two denim trees I made earlier this year from Emerson's worn out wrangler jeans.

I just finished stitching an ornament for our parish priest. I am not doing a second one for Father Seraphim who is also a monk. He has stated a few times in our Bible study, when the topic somehow comes up, that monks have renounced personal property in their vows. He has probably mentioned it to help people and himself! with having to deal with gifts from parishioners. He knows they mean well, but..... So we are going to give him yummy treats to eat for a gift instead! 😁

I am now working on the December monthly piece. 

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”  John 13:34-35

The Christmas tree is up and decorated. Maybe I will actually get a picture!

I hope and pray you are healthy my friends. I thank you for stopping by. Thank you for leaving me a comment. I do so enjoy reading them. 

Stitching and praying,

Vickie
