My mom was born in December and I would always make her some cross stitch ornaments for her tree. I have been doing two each of the twelve days of Christmas. This year I finished the last two. They are from a book that was published in 1985.
I am also sending her some of the calendar dish towels that have dates from the 70's and 80's. I found them at a giant, I mean giant flea market that is held up in Virginia once a year. It was fantastic! My mom asked me to be on the look out for them because she is going to use them in a quilt. Not sure how she will use them but it will be interesting to see what she comes up with. I don't know how many towels she needs but I am sending her six. Sorry forgot to take pictures.
Yesterday I was tagged by Mary. I am very honored to be chosen especially since I have not been blogging very long. I am supposed to pick five people to tag but you know what, I just can't do it. I am probably being a wimp but you can see from my blog list I read a lot of them. I really like them all and I keep adding more to the list which I need to stop doing because I will never get any applique done if I just keep reading blogs. I love to see how you all decorate your blogs, read your stories and see all the beautiful projects. Just know that I think you all deserve this award.Congratulations to you all.
Today I leave you with another Christmas decoration. My mom made this table runner in the 80's. Very simple but I like it.Today was my applique group. I have pictures that I will share tomorrow.
With Passion, Carrie P.

It feels good to get packages in the mail, your cross stitch ornaments are special. I loved your tree quilt from yesterdays post.

I'm loving all this Christmas stuff I'm seeing on blogs tonight. You are helping me get in the mood. Thanks.
How fun. I'm loving the Christmas stuff all over and your things are darling. What fun projects.
Carrie, your ornaments are darling. I'm sure your mom cherishes them! My mom's birthday was Dec 26th - one year we arbitrarily changed it to a date in July - she was thrilled to finally have a special day away from Christmas to celebrate her birthday! Congratulations on your blog award, and since I'm one of the ones on your list of blogs read, I really appreciate what you had to say! Cheers!
Carrie, your mom's Christmas tree must be beautiful with all of your cross-stitched ornaments on them. I have really enjoyed seeing your Christmas decorations.
Congrats on the award too. You are a very creative person and deserve this award.
Aloha!
I'm like you, Carrie ~ I've been blogging for a year now but I cannot pass along an award. Just can't do it! Everyone is so deserving and to single anyone out would just be impossible.
Blessings,
Lea
