1st [Christmas] Sampler

I hope everyone had a blessed, relaxing and enjoyable Christmas. My holidays were very merry and bright.  My entire family, including husbands and babies, were all in one house; a task that is getting harder and harder as the years go by. We made Christmas cookies, watched classics like, A Muppet Christmas Carol, and ate delicious food!

I had come accross this Chirstmas Sampler over the summer as I went through old McCalls Needlework and Crafts magazines (from the 80s). This pattern was simple and sweet. Only to be done with red floss, but I thought that I'd amp up the color a bit. This is my first sampler and with some confidence I'll say that it won't be my last. It has it's mistakes or as my Mom says "humility marks," but I had fun with this project and it didn't scare me away.
