I have the wedding throw going, a donation pet mat, and a ratty coaster all on the crochet hooks ... picking up one or another here and there.

I want to start my christmas cards.

If my shoulder cooperates, I want to cross stitch an ornament.

I finished and finally took a picture of DD32’s Christmas gift.

 

[Myron's Mom]

Beautiful!!!!! What a wonderful gift, I’m sure she’ll love it.

We're headed to the lake tomorrow. I'll be taking my knit afghan to work on as well as a CCS motif for an October BD card. I haven't decided if I have any sewing I could/should take along. It might involve too much home prep to worry about trying to take.

 

[Myron's Mom]

Had planned to head to the sewing room today. Still haven’t got there. I did order my photos for the Easter cards etc so that’s done. Maybe later today…

I was determined to finish the 2 Jesse Trees today. I did. To explain a bit. Each “gift” 1-24 has a round “ornament” inside. One side has a Scripture verse and the other a symbol of what the verse represents. Beginning with #1. Once Scripture is read the ornament is added to the tree. An advent calendar if you will. See photo attached.

Sorry, this photo is missing a song title I added after taking picture. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.

Plans for this week is to get the second mitten on the first pair done. Come up with ideas for the September, thanksgiving (Oct) and Halloween cards.

My grandparents made a tree on a broad once and it was lined with green felt and the tree shape was black velvet and then costume jewelry was put on it. The tree shape was outlined with a necklace of pearls. Several years later they put lights thru the broad in places. It was maybe 24' tall. Looked like a picture frame.

Was that hard todo?

Not really. The silk screens, etc. come from a company called Chalk Couture. Take a look if you are interested.
