Sending out my sincerest wishes to you and your loved ones for great joy, profound peace, and many blessings this Christmas!
Here in Kansas, after going to church nice and early, I’ll get in some quiet stitching time before friends and family stop by later this morning. The rest of Christmas Day will be spent with family and friends at my sister’s house a few blocks away. With about 20 of us gathered for dinner, gift exchanging, and most likely singing around the piano, it’ll be a jolly time! Maybe a little crazy, but definitely jolly!
This coming week, things will be unusually quiet here on Needle ‘n Thread while I take a short break from writing. Wednesday, though, I’ll pop in to let you know the winners of the last two Stitcher’s Christmas give aways.
During the week, I’ll be working diligently on some new embroidery content you’ll see here on Needle ‘n Thread next year. 2017 promises to be an exciting year if I can pull off everything that’s planned for you. I can’t wait to share it with you!
I’m looking forward to seeing you in the New Year and continuing our needlework adventures together!
Merry Christmas to all!
Love,
Mary
