Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! It is almost Christmas!

 Merry Christmas Friends! We had a snowstorm last night of at least 6 inches of snow, so a white Western Christmas here in Wisconsin.

❄️December Cubby Shelf Display❄️ Almost all of these are stitched over one.

💗✨Pink Winter Wonderland✨💗 I love pink for Christmas. 🤭Ha ha! Oops! I love pink every day! I have tagged my friends who gifted me these lovely pieces over the years.

🎄🛠️ Light Up Christmas🛠️🎄by Maria Diaz Designs. 

This pattern can be found in the November 1st 2023 issue of Crossstitcher Magazine. This is Emerson's Christmas ornament this year. 

Perfect for a carpenter, right?! I stitched it as called for, except instead of placing green seed beads, I confetti stitched in the same green color as the called for beads. It is stitched two over two on 32ct Water Lily linen. Emerson really likes it. 😊

Our cross stitch group had a Christmas lunch and and gift exchange. Lucky me! Look at this GORGEOUS hanging pocket my friend Barb created for me.

She customized it! It is totally PINK JUST FOR ME!!!! I could not love this more! Thank you Barb. I hung it on my Grandma's china cabinet. And thank you for the precious snowman you made with the nut mix.

My friend Beth loves sunflowers, so I stitched three gifts with sunflower themes for her for our annual Christmas gift exchange.

"Wild Sunflower" by Blackbird Designs was stitched on the called for R & R Creek Bed Brown, but I used 35ct to make it smaller. 

I used the called for DMC and made a lined stocking.

A Christmas Visit by Prairieschooler was stitched on 32ct natural light linen with the called for DMC.

Sunflower Sampler by  pinkernpunkinquilting.blogspot.com/  was stitched with the called for DMC and forgive me I stitched it so many months ago, I do not remember the count. 🤭

This precious sweater ornament was given to me by our friend Robin I love it so much! Thank you again Robin! 💗

"Au salon de coiffure" from the digital cross stitch book America! by Véronique Enginger. 

I stitched this two over two with the called for DMC on 32ct white evenweave. This is a Christmas present for my hair stylist Niccole. 🥰 I see her today and can't wait to gift this to her.

This the gift give to me by Stasi. It is a nice piece to keep out longer than Christmas time. Thank you again Stasi!🐦

I am stitching on a pattern called The Nutcracker Tree. My goal is to get it finished by Orthodox Christmas, January 7th. I just may do it!

And Mary said:

“My soul magnifies the Lord,

 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior."  Luke 1:46-47

I will be back before Western Christmas with one more special post.  Take care and try not to frazzle out. I am trying hard!

Stitching and praying
