Christmas Crafting
In the winter, I make things, I sew, I embroider, I create. This year I’m making myself an embroidered advent pillow for the living room. It won’t be finished until after the holidays, but it’s a great project to work on during the season. I’ve been carrying this project with me as I travel back and forth to Ohio. It’s the perfect thing to work on while chatting with friends, or while enjoying a lazy Saturday morning.
It’s been fun choosing which details to embellish. After taking this photos I got some metallic thread to add just a touch of sparkle here and there.
Are you making any holiday crafts for your home?

I’m going to work on the cross stitch ornament patterns that came in the most recent issue of Taproot. I really enjoy cross stitching, but don’t want to decorate my home with it… except at the holidays. =)

Susy,
Ha, Lord knows I’m not a crafty person. If it doesn’t involve a power tool or construction, it’s not for me. I did do a needle point chicken some years ago when I was attending a school in California but that was just not my thing. I’d rather be building a mini water tower or raised garden beds with stone borders.
I do admire those that have the patience to do the detailed work of sewing and crafting.
Have a great advent pillow day.
