It's Christmas eve (7.45am Monday) and I want to take this opportunity of wishing each and every one of our Cuties a Holy and blessed Christmas
Thank you to all of my dear friends on here who have helped me in my Embroidery journey, special mention must go to Meg, Kim, Sarah, Carolyn, Toogie, Jerrilyn, Gerry, Michelle, Martiine, Suzanna and Sue for helping me out with certain embroidery issues/problems.
Many thanks to all the other cuties who have inspired me to try things I'd never thought I'd be able to do. The projects on here are so amazing and there are so many talented digitisers as well. Something I'll never attempt.
My sincere thanks and appreciation to Miss Veronika for her designs and for allowing us to post sites from all over the world. May you be blessed in all you do.
Lastly, Merry Christmas to all of my friends on here, I may have not met you personally, but I regard many of you as my dear friends. Lets hope 2019 slows down a bit and we all get to do our favourite hobby with good health and constant inspiration from you. Love and blessings Chris, Newcastle, Australia.
P.S. Christmas Day here is going to be in the mid to high 30's (C)
I am thankful for you too and all the other Cuties that have supported and encouraged me whether it be emb related or personal. It is hard to believe but this is Averys second Chistmas play and parties at her new school. She is home with us over the holidays but like her mom and me, we are all sick with colds/ sinus.
I can't seem to be able to beat this- I felt so bad yesterday to buy groceries, didn't sleep last night cause head/ nose stopped up but went to church this morning to see the children reenact the Holy Birth. It doesn't matter how many times I see, I still shed a tear or two.
I have baked pecan pies, Mississippi Mud pie but have to make candies. I bake the day before Christmas Eve , cook sides Christmas Eve because Christmas Day I cook all the meats. I just can't get it all done the day of.
My sister may not make it back this year. This will be the first time she has missed in years. My nephew is supposed to bring my middle sister but after Christmas Day -She doesn't do well in a crowd but I haven't seen her in over a year....
All my kids and grands but one should be here Christmas Day so should be over 20. Then others will come in and sometimes stay for the evening meal. It's always plenty. The Lord is good and provides. I love having them all here.
When our mom was alive we all cooked at our own home and loaded everything to bring to Mom's. She was in a wheelchair and it was easier for us girls to fix and bring. We all loved gathering there even though her house was small, we found room. Now they come to mine and even though I feel bad this year, it's no place like coming home.
Merry Christmas my dear friend to you, Trevor, Mum and all your beautiful children! Give your Mum an extra special hug from me.
Much Love-Toogie
I had edit to add, I also appreciate your patience with me!-wink, wink
I just want to add my wishes for everyone to have a joyous Christmas.
