Christmas delights - Things to make you smile

 These are bound to make you smile

Some really pretty Gingerbread houses.

I like gingerbread.  Do you?

These were not made by me, but

maybe someday when i get to retire

maybe this is antoher craft i will

get into.   Perishable, have to

really think about that.

 My Christmas stocking.  It's one of the few

things I have from my childhood.  I love it.

My mom had a friend who made one for

me and my two sisters.  The santa has

Angora hair. It is an amazing piece someone

put a lot of talent into. I wish i could thank this

person.  I have no idea who made it.  Chances

are they are in heaven.  I truly like my stocking.

  Yes, the year does give away

my age.  I will be the big '50' on New Year's Day.

Fifty will be fabulous. 

 A couple of people have asked about storage.

For the small patterns i have a small binder with

page protectors and you can flip through the

book to find that special pattern. double sided.

 For larger patterns the same thing but

a bigger binder.  Yes, the whole book

has prairie schooler patterns.

For my DMC I store in Art Bins.  All

#'s are in order and doesn't take up to much

room.  For weeks dye and specialty 

threads I put in Floss bags to protect and

then in an art bin in name order. Easy

and quick access to find what you want.

Everyone has different storage methods.

This works for me. 

Enjoy the Christmas season.
