Santa Clause Sampler - A Christmas Freebie

Good morning , ya'll.  The countdown is on!  91 days till Christmas.

 Normally, I have already started purchasing the grandbabies' Christmas presents by now. Are you an early shopper? Or are you a down to the wire Christmas shopper ? lol I guess I am both- I do like searching for some last minute fun Christmas buys. 

Alrighty , today I wanted to share with you my Santa Clause Sampler, that I stitched last year on some very crispy tea/ coffee dyed aida. (Lol  it was a little burnt, but I went with it) .

This photos is from last Christmas. I have my Santa Clause Sampler paired with Little House Needlework's Country Christmas . Also displayed is   IStitch Designs "Joyeux Noel" freebie  which I finished into a little pin pillow and tucked it in an old wooden salad bowl filled with mini glass ornaments.

Speaking of Christmas, I purchased my first Christmas ornaments this past weekend while on a camping trip. While hubby slipped into Harbor Freight , a bee lined it into Hobby Lobby and found some cute Christmas decor.


  There was lots of cute vintage Christmas pieces. I think these will look  super cute with my Santa mug collection and my Cup of Christmas Cheer - Santa Mug stitch.  Don't you? 

Thank you so much for the warm Fall visit  and letting me share a little bit of Christmas with you.   There is nothing like mixing the seasons and holidays. 😀😂Have a beautiful and blessed day. Now lets's start making our Christmas list . Lol. As always...

Happy stitching, ya'll

  1. I don't get into decorating for Christmas very much, a red & white quilt and a few decorations, that's it. Now Christmas baking is a different story! Have a wonderful day, happy stitching!

  3. I sort of shop and stitch all year whenever I see something that one of the family might enjoy. But, I am notorious at having Last-Minute I have to do for someone projects. I have a doctorate in procrastination!!! I have to add this stitch to my red and white stitching list!! Have a wonderful weekend, now, I have to see what my Hobby Lobby has in the store, LOL. Hugs to all.
