Okay, I know I said that I didn't want to give away my presents.. but I'm just so excited about them all that I HAVE to share one today. I made this one for a family friend, she's basically like my second mom. I bought this blanket one day when it was on sale in Hobby Lobby, and I have literally had it for years. I finally finished it, and let me tell you, it took a lot of work and a lot of love. Once I finished the actual cross stitching, I had to do all of the details. Once I had finished all of that, I had to wash it, and back it, and I think that the backing is BY FAR the MOST tedious part of the whole blanket. But, now she won't be able to see all of the ugly back of my stitching, so I guess it's worth the effort, and the fact that I know that she would do anything for me, definitely makes it worth it!
Oh! and I just wanted to share something else, the other day, my mom and I saw that one of our friends at church and her mom had gotten their coffee paid for by the person in front of them, so when we went to starbucks, mom and I decided to do the same for someone behind us. It was a little girl that was behind us, and she was SO excited! and the barista seemed really impressed and wished us a blessed Christmas. And since the barista was so nice to us, my mom decided to get her a present too, and when we gave it to her this afternoon, she was on the verge of tears. I love Christmas and spreading the real Christmas spirit!
