Holiday Spirit

The title of my post has more than one meaning :)

First... It's a finish!! This was so much fun to stitch.

Holiday Spirit
Designer: Samplerbird Stitchery
Fabric: 28ct White Cashel Linen
Fibers: DMC Color Variations
Time: 3.5 Hrs to stitch
Embellishments: Beads, Runched Satin Ribbon


Second... I managed to get my Christmas decorations and TWO trees up early this year -- I put them two days after school was done. Anyway, it was early for me. LOL




Third... I did a bunch of Christmas baking today!

8 Dozen Cookies so far: Chocolate Chip,
Snickerdoodles, and Maple Cookies. I still
have to bake the Sour Cream Sugar Cookies.


Lastly... I am making Sweet & Sour Meatballs and Crab-Stuff Mushrooms as the dishes-to-pass at Christmas dinner with my family. I made all the meatballs so all I have left to do is throw them in the crockpot with the sauce mix. I also did a test run on the stuffed mushrooms.
