Recycled Christmas Angels

 

 

This is my mantle 

this year.

Look closely at 

the lowest mantle shelf.

There you'll see 

my recycled

Christmas Angels. 

I made these from recycling 

and cutting up

last year's Christmas cards. 

Then adding clipart wings 

and cutting out the faces 

from photos that I took 

on my phone and 

then ran through the printer.

Then I glued them to a 

piece of 2X4 that I painted

white  . . . so they 

would stand up.

 

These are the ladies 

from my Bible study. 

They are not actual angels 

but they are prayer warriors 

and true believers 

in Jesus Christ our Lord. 

I thought it would be fun 

to have them lined up 

on my mantle this Christmas.

 

There are two angels 

without faces because 

they missed the last two 

Bible studies when I was 

taking photos and there are two 

more angels to make 

because two have been hospitalized 

for surgeries and still recovering.

 

Hopefully next Christmas 

I'll have them all there. 

I wanted to show this because 

it was a fun craft 

and something you could easily make.

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Wouldn't it be wonderful 

to have a row of grandchildren 

angels or the children 

in your Sunday school class.

That's my post for today.

I hope it inspired at least one of you.

Merry Christmas

&

 God bless you all!

Pot Holders & Dish Towels

My potholders were getting worn

 and stained so it seemed like a great

time to make some new ones.

After making them, I decided 

to use the same patterns

and embroider two new 

dish towels to match.

I haven't used the embroidery device

 on my sewing machine in a very long time.  

These patterns were in the memory 

of the machine and came with it, 

but I have many patterns 

that I have purchased, that I am 

now having trouble downloading 

into my machine. 

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  

If anyone has an idea

I would greatly appreciate 

your input. 

I'm wondering if I forgot 

how to do it,

 

or if because of technology 

it's all obsolete.

Anyway; I did have fun

taking a break from making gifts 

to making something for myself.

I do enjoy pretty things

in the kitchen:) 

Well that's my latest post,

Thanks for stopping by ☺️

Hoping You Had A Wonderful Thanksgiving

I haven't posted in quite a while. 

So I'm using my phone to try to get one out. 

This little mouse pin cushion 

is one I made somewhere 

between 15 and 20 years ago. 

I wish I could find the pattern again.

 I'd like to make a few more 

as gifts for my sewing friends.

 

When I'm sewing I let the scraps 

fall on the floor 

and 

don't clean up until 

the end of the day or 

the project is finished.  

It can get quite messy 🥴

I've been working on coasters 

and mug rugs 

that go along with my Christmas 

decorations in the living room.

And I've been making bowl cozies 

as Christmas gifts.

🪡🧵25 in all 🧵🪡

I've also started a new quilt 

for a winter project. 

🧵🪡🧵🪡🧵

Well, that's how I've been

spending my spare time.

Thanksgiving was a lovely time 

spent with family and friends.

I have so much to be grateful for. 

The Lord has blessed me beyond belief.

When I look back on my life

I am amazed at how I started

and how the Lord has change

my life.

I am awe stuck that the God

that created the universe

loves me so much.

Not only did He send His only Son

to save me . . .

He is with me always and longs

to be a part of my everyday life.

He loves us all that much.

God Bless You All!
