Calendar Blog Hop where you will find each day until Christmas, an assortment
of pretty festive stitching by different participants. This yearly blog hop is hosted by Jo of
Serendipitous Stitching and if you click <a href="https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2022/12/2022-advent-calendar-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">here</a> you will see the calendar so far
and each of the stitchers involved.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I finished a small stitchery which I had started last year,
using scraps of different linens from stash and embroidering a few<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>seasonal motifs, mostly free ones or parts of
various samplers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I added a smattering
of lace between each pattern and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>decorated
my small tray.</p>

or Christmas themed stitchery, Jo asks us to talk about `What´s for Afters¨.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I always prepare a variety of different `turrones´,
mazapans, shortbreads and mantecados which are typical Xmas sweet treats here
in Spain. Turron is made mainly of almonds a type of nougat mixed with peanuts,
candied fruits or chocolate.</p>

turron, which is more digestible after the main meal. The recipe I use is the one seen below by
Rosa Maria.. I also make some sugar cookies, not really a
dessert but available to snack on during the afternoon.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is my first blog post of 2022 after having dithered
about all the month wondering whether or not to continue blogging, so although
we are at the end of January, I would like to wish everyone health and
happiness for this new year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have decided on a plan for `Home decor sewing´, that is
making things for the home or trying to improve what I have and started this
month with decorating my hand towels with some crochet.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I bought some plain blue towels just before Christmas and wanted to
brighten them up a bit, so for inspiration and colour ideas, I looked through
the book `Crochet Motifs´ by Edie Eckman .</p>

patterns by Lucy of <a href="https://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet/" target="_blank">Attic 24</a>, since I tend to muddle up British and American crochet

comment on Christmas trees so I rescued our poor old faithful specimen from the dim and dusty storeroom once again to
endure his yearly makeover. Our tree is
really old, I can only ever remember having had one other tree so ours must be
over 30 years old. A bit fragile now,
with stiff and brittle branches shedding needles with every movement and a
wobbly trunk and uneven pose.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is always decorated with a combination of red, gold or white ornaments<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and topped with a pretty gold angel.
The once bright and shining baubles don´t shine <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>much now as most of them are as old as the
tree and very few glass decorations have survived the years.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> However each year
there are always one or two new additions, the latest being a cheeky modern
angel who wishes to replace the golden one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My favourite cherished ornament is one given to me many years ago by a
young student of mine. He would be so surprised to know how much I loved the
tiny gift and that it has always been treasured.</p>

a pretty dress she disliked and taken up the hem of another skirt.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I´m doing a bit of redecorating and that includes
throwing things out that we don´t need or which are rather old and I came across
two embroidered holders made years ago.
Here is one of them.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Another month over and again very little stitching done. My
daughter and her three children are coming<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>to stay next month and I have been<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>busy arranging the house for their stay and making the most of all the
arranging, to clear out unwanted furniture and ítems.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I thought I might show a tray cloth that I made some time
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn´t fit any tray that I have
and I didn´t want to make the pattern any smaller, so it will probably be
gifted in the future.</p>

chose a pretty red printed fabric for the surround.</p>

butterflies for last month´s topic, I
certainly have quite a few houses to show.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Firstly, an easy to
recognise design of Michael Powell´s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>cross stitch cottages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finished
the chart and then just went on adding more and more cottages until I got to
the end of the fabric.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was about 10
years ago, so it would be nice to get the design made into something and take
it out of the depths of the Dreaded Drawer.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Well I can´t but feel a bit more enthusiastic<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this week as my husband, my son and I are off
to visit my daughter and grandkids next week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They live in Madrid, a four hour journey from the north coast of Spain
and we haven´t seen them for nearly a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So with making plans and such I still haven´t regained my sewing mojo
but I have finished <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a couple of UFOs.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It is quite some time since I joined Mary of<a href="https://www.marysthread.com/" target="_blank"> Mary´s Thread</a>
for the Smalls SAL check-in. The days and weeks just seem to disappear without
a lot of stitching progress on my part, but this month I have <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>managed to finish a small design to share.</p>

free one from the Speciality Stitches Yahoo group years ago and designed by Abi
Gurden, I wanted to finish the embroidery completely and make it into something
useful but alas only the stitching is finished.</p>

the moment.</p>

something romantic for the special day, with lots of hearts and flowers or
similar, and what could be better than this, err, door draught stopper?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My fully finished
disaster of this month is the book cover which I mentioned in a recent <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>post and which was destined to cover a future
cookery book for my granddaughter.</p>

had bought cheaply from a local shop that was closing down and decided to use
the bright and glossy plum coloured DMC 30915.</p>

certainly didn´t turn out bright and
shiny at all and while using this floss I learnt that before stitching one
should use water to dampen the thread with ones fingers , so to keep the stitches
even.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was going to add some récipes and fotos and lots of pretty
pages to the cookery book</p>

Victoria Sampler was stitched twice, as a box lid and as an ornament. As others,
I seem to have quite a few stitcheries where tiny birdies can be seen, so I´m
just choosing two of those well known patterns.</p>

This SAL is
hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching and involves showing something stitch related that we have
received or have made to be gifted. We can check-in from the 15th until the end
of each month. More information clicking <a href="https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/p/gifted-gorgeousness-2021-sign-up-page.html">here</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I´m joining the group today, with two stitched designs which
I have finished this month and hopefully one of them will don the front of a
cookery book cover I want to make for my granddaughter.</p>

It is called Dame au Gâteau by La Sylphide
Toquee , It looked a bit pale, so I
added some outlining but I think the
design will be too big for the size of the cover I have in mind.</p>

completed some time back and I just
finished it off adding the same pile of
little cakes from the first design and the overall size is better , so I will
use this embroidery for the book cover.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I thought twice about getting up this morning as my phone
showed - 4º C, so I had a lazy cuppa while watching the news and only decided
to get up when the sun started to enter my windows an hour later. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It´s been very cold lately and I had to find my lap rugs. I
found one that I had knitted for my mum-in-law years ago and when she passed
away, it was returned to me and I don´t think I ever showed it on my
blog. </p>
