Christmas Advent Blog Hop

It's that time of year!  Time for Serindipitous Stitcher Jo's Christmas Blog Hop!  

I don't have any new Christmas stitching I'm afraid since I've been working almost exclusively on Paradise.  But I have my completed ones to show!


Candy cane Santa was the first kit I ever bought/finished.  

My next Christmas start will be:
But I'll be putting beads on the houses to simulate lights when I'm done.

The theme this year is what do you do for Christmas Eve?

Well as a child depending on what time my dad picked me up I would either have a big family party at my mom's and go later to our smaller family Christmas at dad's or go straight there.  Now as an adult either my husband or I would have to work so when I was off I would usually just relax myself with some hot chocolate and baileys, my stitching, Christmas lights and Christmas music.  This year were both going to be off and my moms coming to town so we're going to make some festive drinks, get some pizza rolls and junk food for dinner and watch Christmas movies.  I'm really looking forward to having the holidays off!

Thanks for stopping by I'll see you next week/year!

  2. I love your two Christmas finishes and the one you have planned. That's not going to be a quick project! The idea of putting beads for lights should certainly make it look more Christmassy! :)

  6. You and I have similar tastes....I've done Candy Cane Santa, and I own Aurora Cabin but haven't done it yet.
    You did a beautiful job on both, and I love your new one! (I'm tempted to get it for myself;) The beads will make a fantastic addition!
