Hi Blog Friends!
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Looks like many of you are well on your way to decorating for the holidays.
I have the lights up outside, but nothing done inside....
This is the first year I can remember being sick for so long. Like many of you, I've battled a upper respiratory infection for three weeks prior to Thanksgiving, then got the flu the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
I'm still not feeling all that great, but pushing myself to get things done.
If you have not had the flu yet, I'd seriously consider getting the flu shot~ I would not wish it on my worst enemy!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Jackie~ of TFC Folk Art came out with her new pattern for a Nativity ~ I just had to purchase it!
I purchased some of the little washtubs a few years ago on clearance and could never figure out what I'd do with them~ until now! Perfect for baby Jesus to lay His head down.
Stitched this pin keep for a neighbors gift. I don't think she sees my blog. Pattern by Country Rustic Primitives.
These look much nicer in person. Primitive bells with wool holly and berries.
Pattern is free over at Tennessee Ridge Primitives!
And I made this beauty for me. Americana Santa~ using a pattern by Sweetpea Primitives.
(I added the reindeer~ it's not included in the original pattern).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently did a swap with Sara of Salmon Falls Primitives.
Look at the goodies she sent me!
Beautiful round riser~ love the blue!
A Primitive Blessings sign board~ yippy!!! I've wanted one of these.
Love, love, love this wall/door box!
I couldn't wait to hang it on my front farmhouse door.
Sara does beautiful work~
She has an Etsy shop~ Salmon Falls Primitives , if you've never visited her shop, stop over and take a peek.

Thank you Sara for all the great goodies, I love doing swaps with you!

I have gingers to finish today, then maybe I'll muster the energy to dig out the tree and some decoration, or maybe not........lol.
Thank you for stopping for a visit.
Enjoy your day!
Holiday Blessings to you,
Jean

Hello Jean,
ReplyDeleteI love all your new goodies, especially the lovely and simple Nativity! Prim perfect ;-)
Sorry to hear you've not been feeling well, sure lots of folks getting the flu. I think I'm starting to get something............no energy and achy. Ugh, not now please!
Your new Santa as the best!
Sara has some amazing wooden prims doesn't she? I've purchased a few things from her and love them. My door box is a mustard color and I love it....no front porch so it's on the inside of front door where I can enjoy it! You take care and hope your holidays are healthy and happy ones.
hugs,
Sheila

ReplyDeleteThe goodies from Sara are out of this world too! The blue is gorgeous!
