My Merry Mistletoe Banner is finished. Yeah!
I am so pleased with how it turned out. I thought it would be different to stitch it in blue, a change from all my other Christmas stitching.
The stitcheries were designed by my lovely friend, Michelle Ridgeway of Rag Tag Stitchin'. Michelle kindly shared her pattern with a group of on-line stitching friends last year. If you love it like I do, you can order it from Michelle here.
Thank you Michelle. I hope you like what I
did with your stitcheries.
Today is Sunday and that means football in the MacDonald family. Today Nelson plays his 50th game,
which is quite a milestone.
which is quite a milestone.
Nelson is waiting to run through his banner at his next home match. It's lucky he has an away game today as I had trouble getting the brown crepe paper. I only managed to get some on Friday after searching many newsagents in several suburbs. Mitchell also has his 100th game coming up in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to be busy making banners! I have all the lettering cut out ready to go.
Congratulations Nelson. Well done on 50 games!
Love Mum, Dad, Mitchell and Austin.
