A Couple More Ornaments

Actually every day is Christmas and I can celebrate, every single day...why postpone His JOY, that ever lives? :D  I do however, take down the Christmas tree after New Year's ;) more room for celebrating :)

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. isaiah 25:9

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. luke 2:30-32

Simply Sweet Christmas Felt Decorations

Little felt ornaments remind my of my childhood - I remember my older sister and I making them every year, decorating them with many many colorful sequins and beads. 

A lovely fellow stitcher from stitchin fingers has a  tutorial for ornaments such as this - the instructions are in both French and English, the photos are clear and helpful, and she makes it so child friendly that even adults will want to jump in and make some :D

Her lovely, friendly blog is here:  pierrespapiersciseaux

I recall drawing around cookie cutters for the pattern, on to the felt. 

Thank you God for coming to us - we needed, and need you, so much, O Immanuel

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.   isaiah 7:14
