The Christmas Blog Hop

Hi there cloud friends!  I hope December is going well for all of you. Today is my day for a post on the Christmas Blog Hop.  This is organized by Jo over at Serendipitious Stitching.  She is an amazing stitcher so be sure to visit her blog.  Thanks Jo, for all the work you do in organizing this blog hop.
Here is the piece I have chosen to share with you.



This is a sampler that is available in the Blackbird Designs book, " The Bells on Christmas Day'" The sampler is based on an old one that is shown in the book.  It was a joy to stitch.  I did make several color changes so if you have any questions about that feel free to email me and I can give you the conversions. The words Peace on Earth appear on the sampler so I plan to keep it up all year.  Those sentiments are good for all of the time.


 I did want to share the beautiful frame I have used for this piece.  It was done by Valley House Primitives.  They do a wonderful job. It was the perfect design and color for the piece.  Janet is always so helpful with color and design ideas. In addition she is a joy to work with!

I hope all of you are able to enjoy this beautiful season of Advent and I wish all of you the Merriest of Christmases!

  21. So proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right? When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout attacks have you? Well, allow me to give you a new perspective on the solution to what plagues you I was once in your shoe until my college friend introduce me to Dr Itua herbal center which cure my hiv/herpes,Lymphedema, after drinking it for two weeks as instructed, Dr Itua is an africa herbal doctor who has natural power to cure all human illness diseases I believe Dr Itua so much because he help me cure my hiv/ herpes which has being my burden in life so I promised Dr Itua that I will testify about his work online after curing me and that is what I'm doing here so please if you are sick from those diseases do not hesitate to write Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or chat with him on his online store www.drituaherbalcenter.com
