Rainy Day

 I've been busy on this rainy Tuesday....


... making Christmas cards.  I'll stamp the message inside at another date.
These are all the same pattern, I just used the variety of Christmas papers I had.  Some were newly purchased from Stampin Up this year but most are from years past.

Another craft I've recently started is a counted cross stitch for one of the granddaughters.  I hope to make all 4 of them something to hang in their bedrooms over the next year or two. Yesterday I worked on this for the first time while we watched a football game.




I purchased this from a vendor on etsy.  It was my second purchase.  The first was a printed cross stitch and much too detailed.  The vendor refunded my money and I found this one from another vendor which incorporates two things the granddaughter likes: cats and reading.

Making a pot of three bean soup for dinner tonight.  Perfect for this rainy day.

  2. I briefly tried cross-stitching --- very briefly. A cat reading a book should delight your granddaughter.

  4. Very creative. Handmade is always best. We haven’t sent a Christmas or Hanukkah card in years.
