Day after Thanksgiving
I am so full of turkey and stuffing and everything else that goes with Thanksgiving dinner. I had the whole family here for dinner and I ate until I was stuffed. We had a wonderful time and here I am today relaxing on the computer. I don’t get to surf the net too often and when I do I look for new blogs to check out. Wow, did I find a good one this morning. It is “Blackbird Designs”. I love their charts. I spent way too long reading every page of Alma’s blog. Here is what I found. I think you will all like it and I can’t wait to try it with some of my stitched designs.
Now how cute is this? It is on Blackbird design’s blog http://blackbird-designs.blogspot.com This is a papier mache box that Alma has covered with fabric on the outside and then copied a sampler onto paper and used it for the inside of the box. Anyway…she has a wonderful tutorial on the second page of her blog and I think it is just perfect. What a cute quick idea for a christmas gift. I shall be trying my hand at a few of these. I can see using old prints of old family pictures also. Anyway, Alma’s blog is so worth checking out if you have time.
Here is a little sneak peek at this years Christmas ornament from me to all the members of the JAT message board. It shall be finished shortly and then I shall post to the message board the chart and instructions in PDF format for anyone that wants it. It comes along with a great big MERRY CHRISTMAS wish to you and yours. I shall be posting it soon. Actually my hope is to post the PDF on December 1st for you all.
