to you, my dear blogging friends!!
Do you think this guy is busy enough? Whittling away at that special toy? This is just one of my favorite ornaments that adorn the family tree. What is one of your favorites, other than the handmade ones? Do any of you readers, have specific collections, such as a theme, or brand, like Hallmark ornaments? Would love to hear about it, if you do!
I was able to finish The Primitive Needle's Earth Sampler a few weeks ago, not the greatest picture:
Primitive Needle's Earth Sampler
Tree of Life Linens Cocoa Double Dip 40 ct
Weeks Dye Works and Gentle Art Fibers
Substituted white cat for middle motif, in memory of a family pet
Here is a pic of the outside of the Belfonte house...looks so strange without the customary white snow to make it a truly wintery Christmas scene. Grass is greener than it was all summer, strange!
What is Christmas without Christ?
Love, Jan

P.S. My most favorite and treasured ornament (besides the ones made by wonderful friends) is a sheep stitched on plastic canvas by my Grandmother.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! (I used to collect Hallmark train ornaments for my DS. We have tons of them! I love Radko ornaments myself. Have lots of those too.)
Ooo I love the sampler. Have a lovely
Christmas and a peaceful and contented new year.

I can see why you love that ornament, Jan--elves and gnomes have always been favorites of mine, too.

Merry Christmas, Jan. Your house looks so pretty. Love the Primitive Needle piece too!
Happy New Year!
Beautiful picture of your house! We are used to snow-less Christmas here!
I have been buying Hallmark ornaments since our first Christmas, one for hubby and myself (at least, sometimes more) and one for each of the boys. The thought was that the boys would eventually take their ornaments for their own trees but so far they are still on my tree!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2012
I hope your holiday was wonderful, Jan! Nice finish! Your house is lovely. Hope 2012 is a blessed year for you and yours. :)
Love your Earth Sampler finish. That was one of my favorite stitches!! Happy New Year!
I'm not sure whether my comment went through or not, so I'm doing it again. Your Blackburn sampler is gorgeous! I've wanted to stitch that for a long time, and the colors are so much nicer up close than what you see generally on the online photos of the chart itself. Great job! Lovely grand chidlren too! They are adorable! I'm sure they bring you great joy. I haven't stitched since my husband passed away almot 6 years ago -- jut now going back to work again and have thought about picking up my needle again. Only issue is time ....hard to work things in when you are working full time. But I hope to get that started before too long. Again, wishing you a great year and yes, Christmas is not Christmas without Jesus!
God bless -- Cathy in NM
