Packing Up Christmas

 

Packing up Christmas . . .

when do you do it?

I've started a new quilt, 

good Lord willing

it will be my first of 2026.

Here are a few photos 

of it in progress 😊

I'm able to use up 

a lot of my scrapes.

This is what my design

board looks like at the

moment. 

As I pack a way my Christmas

decorations there's a bit of sadness

that goes with it.

I look forward to Christmas

and hate to see it 

go so soon.

As we enter into a 

New Year

remember . . .

Trust Him 

He is ever faithful.

Trust Him

for He is the best!

Trust Him

for the heart of Jesus

Is the only place of rest.

God Bless You All

&

Happy New Year.

Recycled Christmas Angels

 

 

This is my mantle 

this year.

Look closely at 

the lowest mantle shelf.

There you'll see 

my recycled

Christmas Angels. 

I made these from recycling 

and cutting up

last year's Christmas cards. 

Then adding clipart wings 

and cutting out the faces 

from photos that I took 

on my phone and 

then ran through the printer.

Then I glued them to a 

piece of 2X4 that I painted

white  . . . so they 

would stand up.

 

These are the ladies 

from my Bible study. 

They are not actual angels 

but they are prayer warriors 

and true believers 

in Jesus Christ our Lord. 

I thought it would be fun 

to have them lined up 

on my mantle this Christmas.

 

There are two angels 

without faces because 

they missed the last two 

Bible studies when I was 

taking photos and there are two 

more angels to make 

because two have been hospitalized 

for surgeries and still recovering.

 

Hopefully next Christmas 

I'll have them all there. 

I wanted to show this because 

it was a fun craft 

and something you could easily make.

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Wouldn't it be wonderful 

to have a row of grandchildren 

angels or the children 

in your Sunday school class.

That's my post for today.

I hope it inspired at least one of you.

Merry Christmas

&

 God bless you all!

Quilt Group Christmas Gifts

Last Thursday was the 

December meeting of our

Quilting Group.

I had made these

but couldn't post before giving :) 

 

 

 Here are the pincushions . . .

I had so much fun making these.

 

The following photos are them

paired with their Mug Rug :) 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed . . .

Mug Rugs Galore

 

Hello Sweet Friends . . .

Today's post is mostly photos.

 

 

My followers know that 

I live on a pretty tight budget,

but I like to live well.

Therefore; for my Christmas gifts

this year I have started

by going through my scrap pile.

 

Who can't use a little "Mug Rug?"

 

 

Larger than a coaster,

Smaller than a place mat . . . 

just the right size for a 

cup and a treat :)

I've made a pile of them . . .

and I'm still sewing.

Have fun looking them over,

I hope you get inspired.

I hope you enjoyed the 

little "Mug Rug" tour . . .

 

 

Wishing you & yours . . .

A warm & cozy Christmas :)

Because of Jesus

 

 

We have peace that passes all understanding.

 

 

We have Joy that can't be taken away.

 

 

 

We have love that's everlasting.

 

 

We have nothing to fear

 

 

and everything to hope for

today, tomorrow and always.

 

 

God Bless You All

Wishing You A Very

Merry Christmas
