Christmas Creations


I found a pattern for this Advent Garland in the December/November 2011 issue of Creative Machine Embroidery.
I made it for my oldest grand daughter. It was fun and fairly easy. The challenge was in trying to find age appropriate items to fill each stocking. The magazine had little candy canes in each. Not exactly what I would want a toddler to have. I found tiny ornaments and some hair clips and ties, that type of stuff. Next year they can fill it with what ever they want. And next year I will need to make 2 more for the other grand kids. I think that I will make some in the stocking shape and some in mitten shapes.



Now I am finally sewing my roman shades for the living room windows.
