Looking back, it's been a fairly busy week/weekend! It started snowing Tuesday afternoon, and continued well into the evening, giving us a full inch of pretty ground covering . . .
Coming into the camp. It took me ninety minutes to get home from work on Tuesday evening!
It was still pretty the next morning, too!
Wednesday I finished up the binding on the last of the Christmas quilts . . .
Three little lap quilts, all with their binding neatly stitched up! Ijust need to pop labels on them.
Thursday we had our annual Christmas Open House at work. I enjoy getting things set up for it. We generally have a good number of visitors come through the doors!
My favorite table of visitors . . .
The Christmas tree always makes a great backdrop for this pretty trio of girls:
Does that not just deck your halls?!!
Friday morning we had several visitors over for breakfast al fresco . . .
And along with running some Christmas errands and lunch at a new restaurant in town with Todd, I tried my hand at this darling fabric origami hexi ornament:
Well, I tried my hand twice . . .
These whip up very quickly and make a darling addition to a gift! Not Afraid of Color shared theirs in a recent Slow Sunday Stitching post and also shared the video tutorial she'd used to make them. You can find it right HERE!
Saturday, was all about tea! My mom, Joc, Ellie, Evey and I headed to Chattanooga for a Victorian Christmas tea at Polly Claire's!
Four generations!
We had a very lovely time. :)
Over Thanksgiving weekend, Mary Corbet at Needle 'n Thread released a darling set of snowflake embroidery patterns. SO pretty! I'd been watching the sample pieces on her instagram feed, and knew which one I was going to want to stitch up first . . .
I couldn't wait for Sunday and have taken a few stitches, but this will definitely be my project for some much anticipated slow Sunday stitching!
And I'm using metallic floss, so it sparkles. ♥
Linking up to the slow stitching post at Kathy's Quilts--stop by and see who's doing what!
Have you seen one of the latest ornaments on my tree??
Isn't this hand-painted snow fellow the sweetest? If you haven't entered my 'giftaway,' and you'd like one like him, be sure to check out my Pearl's Peg post!
Happy Sunday stitching!
:)
