Do you have photos of it? If you do, I imagine they are older. You could scan them and post on your Christmas blog. Just a thought!<br /><br />I didn't learn to sew until after I had kids. I do enjoy it but am not skilled at it. The candle mats are simply done with embroidery and hand sewing. On the fall ornaments, the designs are fused on and the ornaments are machine-sewed together with a simple straight stitch, but they could be hand sewed as well. It's not to late to learn to sew, if you haven't yet!<br /><br />But how wonderful that you could draw and paint and make such special ornaments and decorations for your family to enjoy. Thanks for sharing those precious memories!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-59975046837187735802015-11-03T12:02:44.503-05:002015-11-03T12:02:44.503-05:00It is such a blessing to be able to sew!

Most of my time went into making Christmas decorations,ie, drawing and colouring, using coloured poster board and sparkles when my kids were growing up. I think my favourite thing was an Advent tree I made for my kids. I cut a tree out of cardboard and covered it with heavy green metallic wrapping paper. I drew each and every ornament for the kids to put on the tree. We used that tree for many years. Lots of lovely memories. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy this first week of November.<br /><br />Autumn blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-84095317067323296312015-10-06T20:02:45.438-04:002015-10-06T20:02:45.438-04:00Thanks, Arlene!

I've been doing some thinking about a fall cross stitch piece I would like to design around a poem.
