Merry Christmas.....Happy Birthday Jesus

Linus’ King James version scripture reading from Luke 2: 8-14, read: 

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And that is the meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown.





In peace and pieces,

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all from our little home in New Jersey.

May the blessings of the season carry each of you in to 2015 with a lighter heart and gratefulness of the many gifts we have,




Hark the Herald Angels Sing,

Glory to the new born King,

Peace on Earth and Mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled.

Merry Christmas! SSCS gifts . . . . . . and other gifts

I am once again hunting for a camera. . .  .so I don't have pictures on this post. 

To all of you that celebrate Christmas I hope that you have had a blessed day and continued peace.

Mr. Books & I attended the candlelight service last night & our regular Sunday service this morning.  It was very hectic but rewarding.

We haven't yet celebrated Christmas with my family yet. . . . and won't be celebrating it with Mr. Books daughter until next weekend so there will be additional updates.

But, as of right now I can say that I did not add to the stash for this day --- at least not fabric; I did pick up a pattern yesterday for a wall hanging that I am thinking of making for my office wall for next Christmas.

I opened the gift from Dale in Australia that was my SSCS gift. . . .oh, just wait until I can get a photo!!  I received a calendar and the most wonderful stitcher's case that I have ever seen.  The colors are wonderful & there are very many "nooks & crannies" for me to use to store things for "on the go" stitching.

The calendar will be wonderful on my refrigerator and will let me see what wonders there are to see in other parts of the world.

Thank you Dale, I love the gifts you sent and appreciate all the time you took to make it!

Mr. Books knows that I love novelty pins (brooches) and is always on the prowl for pieces to make to my collection.  (I'm known as the "pin lady" at work.)  Well, he added 2 pieces to my collection. . . . in a theme that I had not yet started -- SPORTS!!

We went to an antique mall yesterday (kind of a new tradition for us in the past couple of years).  While there he found a billiards pin and a golf club pin for me.

He had been looking for a treadle sewing machine but we hadn't come upon one of those in this trip.  Which is a good thing because right now I don't know where we would put it (at least so I could use it) until I get the house organized a bit better.

I'll post more later on. . . . and hope that by then I will have pictures. . . because I also have pictures to show of blocks that I made for a Flickr swap and I will get those blocks in the mail tomorrow so that I am ahead of the deadline.

In peace and pieces,
