Merry Christmas!

We are all doing much better today. We all survived yesterday, made it through dinner, etc. :) I got some great presents yesterday. One thing from my mom that I got that I love is a pair of vintage pillowcases with a crocheted edging.

Pillowcase








From my SIL I got the 7th and final season of Gilmore Girls. I was so excited about that! I can't wait to start watching it!



My mom got us both these cute Starbucks cups...



My MIL got me a gift card to Jo-Ann's. I got some new 5" Ginghers...



I've found it easier to cut linen with smaller scissors, so that's what I plan to use these for.

I also got this cute little sewing box....



And some threads for a couple of new patterns I got the other day...





Cirque des Circles (jumpin on the band wagon) and Kaleidoscope by Ink Circles. I just love all the colors in Kaleidoscope. It's so different!

Last but not least I also received a package from Mary Kathryn yesterday...





It's the two new thread packs from LHN "Spiced Tea" and CCN "Cottage Garden." I love the colors in these two also! :) I didn't get any stitching done yesterday. I went to bed pretty early and thankfully Matthew let me sleep in until 7:30, which is a miracle! That was a great Christmas present! The boys also had a great Christmas. Click here to see some pictures I took yesterday. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! I plan on stitching and relaxing and doing nothing today! :) Write later!

  4. I'm so sorry that you all got sick. :( - I'm glad to hear that you are doing better!

    It sounds like you had a lovely Christmas, and you got some beautiful gifts!

    I have a pair of 8" Ginghers for cutting my linen - I don't like to use the 4" scissors for doing that, so I understand about wanting a larger pair.
