The first Gift

The meaning of Christmas was the first gift, Jesus gave his life for us so we could live. What a gift of Grace that was for us.






Our Saviour born on Christmas Day. This nativity set was a gift to me some years back from a speacial friend.
Now a few of the gifts I gave:








This was my gift for my Global swap through  fionamarie.com. The tea towel was a gift for Kate @ Show and Tell.





These aangels I made some years ago and are part of my Christmas display in my home.
Hope this Christmas Season has given you blessings.
Thankyou for visiting, Happy Stitching.

Saviours Day nearly here

Hi everyone. Hope you all have a Happy Christmas. I`ve been stitching and as a few people know posting. So pleased that my parcel for TCGS arrived in plenty of time in Australia.




This ones mine, wondering what I`ve got. Will find out in the morning. Thankyou so much my friend.





I  made this for my friend Kath for her birthday earlier this month






The other side which show her  grey cat, he`s really friendly.






The centre of this little stitching bag. It`s a Red Brolly design. I use it often to make for friends,must make myself one.






My hubby is a volunteer at our local firebrigde and every year we have our Christmas Party for the children. As our children are grown our grandchildren come. The children enjoy a ride in the fire engine. Our grand daughter loved it.





And of course Santa came. This our little grand-daughter not so sure about the man wearing  the red suit and white beard. Our grandson new how it worked from play group.





These I made for two non blogger friends.



Sorry can`t seem to turn photo! The cushions came from Nancy Halvorsens `Star Of Wonder` booklet and the ornaments from `Just Cross Stitch ` magazines.




Look where Puss has turned up now,under the Christmas tree. Hope next year to have my tree skirt finished. See how my progress goes on that.
Hubbys working on his canoe fibre glassing to water proof:









Here are two of my Christmas wall hangings and a Christmas quilt that gets a little quilting done on it at this time of the year. It was a mystery quilt for me a few years back. The wall hangings are out of two `Debbie Mumm` books.











Hope you all have a safe and Happy Christmas with family and friends. I`m going to make my Traffic Lights slice, Christmas mince pies and hopefully be ready to attend the 9pm candle light service at our Church.
Thankyou for visiting and hope you come back soon.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.
