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.
Good on you for getting started on Christmas stuff. I need to do the same.
ReplyDeleteI briefly tried cross-stitching --- very briefly. A cat reading a book should delight your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteI like the Tuxedo cat.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful Marcia and happy to hear you got a refund and chose this cute picture. Your pot of three bean soup sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVery creative. Handmade is always best. We haven’t sent a Christmas or Hanukkah card in years.
ReplyDeleteI used to do counted cross stitch years ago when my eyes were better.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards I did water color ones last year not sure what to do this year.
