Embroidery

 Been playing on my embroidery machine alot made all of these for a Yule Table Topper, I'm making.
 Really like the way the deer came out.
 I added more colors to the tree as I didn't like the way it was with only 2 greens.
Then I got something in the mail today that you don't see much of anymore. I still do it but most don't, I got a Thank You Card. It is so cute. I got from Deb the lady who won my Blog Hop Giveaway.  Thank you so much it made my day.
Well I can't believe it is almost Yule and Christmas. got to still finish my son's afghan in the next week as there are only 7 days til Christmas.
Have a Blessed Week

Sew Day

Son's Afghan
 Have been working on my son's afghan for Christmas about 1/2 way done.  Wednesday I went to my friend's Tina house for a sew day. I did all the embroidery from her machine. It was so much fun.
Yule Table Topper
 Going to make them into a Yule Table topper as soon as I embroider the yule log.

 Then we used her cutting system to cut out 5" squares and 2.5" strips for matching friendship quilts.

 We also cut out the fabric for the New Year's Day Mystery at Quiltbug.com
Candle Mat for Tina
I made her this candle mat from my embroidery machine as a Thank you and Christmas present.
Going to the quilt shop in Palm Coast with her tomorrow for their Show and Tell day. So that will be fun. Then I'm home til Christmas day when we go to my MIL's for dinner. Will be working on my son's afghan.

Christmas Decor Done...caution photo heavy post

Tree decorated
 As you can see I've been busy this weekend putting up Christmas decor, but now it is all done so I can enjoy the rest of the month while working on 2 last swaps and presents for family.
file cabinet decorations
 I made the Santa house and just added stuff around it over the years.
My Angel
 This Angel was a gift from a friend and is up every year. The Santa's are candles my Hubby has given me over the years. With so Cross stitch I've made and a new ornament I got this year the little gold crocheted angel.
Mini Yule tree
 This is my mini Yule tree that goes in the window of my crafts/computer room. I have a candle stick light that goes beside it and gets lite on the Eve of the Solstice.
My Nativity
 Yes, I'm Pagan but I grew up Catholic and we always had a Manger and it was my job each year to put it up under the tree. It was an old paper mache one and would try and fall part each year. So I still put one up in my house each year as a tradition. Most have been smaller but I saw this one last year and really liked it.
Stockings
 Just a couple of stockings hung this year. There is only Hubby, Coco and I.
table before tree
 This is my table before the tree was up I made the table topper from blocks I got in a swap at the old fourm Quilts Your Way. I also made the tissue holder, coaster a couple of years ago from plastic canvas. And I sewed the and mini place mat from fabric I had.
Santa box
 I found this box in my Daughter's room and was sure if it was her's or mine so I asked her and it was her's but she gave it to me it is a really lovely Santa box.
Presents from Swaps 1
 Here is the tree after I put presents from my Christmas swaps under it so many I had to put the sack beside it. Can't wit til Christmas to open them.
Presents from swaps 2
Oh and I hung my wreath on the front door.  So now that is all done I can finish a couple of swaps and presents for the family. Have a Blessed week.
