While I haven't posted since June, I did sign up for Jo's annual Advent Calendar Blog Hop and she assigned me Day 14. We're supposed to post a picture of a Christmas-y stitched item and answer a question about afters. You can check out Jo's Blog for more information and to see all of the posts.
I love stitching Christmas ornaments and have many to show, but here are the ones I fully finished this year.
All of these ornaments plus quite a few others (not made by me) will be delivered to the Ronald McDonald House in Orange, California later today. If you'd like to stitch ornaments for this house, I've created a Facebook group called "Stitching for Families (RMHCSC). Let me know if you're interested.
Question: What's for Afters? I'd never heard of Afters, but Jo described it as dessert. So, what's for dessert?
We celebrate with a Christmas breakfast just before opening presents. It also works out better with everybody's schedules. My husband makes his famous "Farmer's Omelet", which is fried potatoes, onions, diced ham, shredded cheese, eggs and green onions all mixed together in a skillet.
Because it's breakfast, we don't serve afters, but my daughter usually has trays of cookies and candy strategically placed so many of those are consumed instead.
