This Christmas season was so filled with joy! Jemimah is now at an age where she can enjoy all the beauty and excitement of the season. Each morning she woke up delighted to rediscover the Christmas decorations about the house.
She did her best to help Adam put the lights on the tree! : )
Mom and I were quite busy sewing this past month, and we were very grateful to have been able to have all of our orders out in time. There were many mornings when I would have a stack of boxes ready to ship sitting on the kitchen table. But once the last of the orders were mailed....
I took some time to sew two new dresses for Jemimah. I like this simple pattern as it is easy to sew, and I hope will last her a while. She is growing sooo fast! Jemimah wore the cozy flannel dress on Christmas day.
In the evenings I have worked on my knitting. Jemimah was in need of a scarf now that it is growing cooler. But a regular scarf would have been too easy for her to pull off, so I was delighted with this
pattern I found on Pinterest. I thought the pattern was very clever with its keyhole design. It was such a pleasure to knit that I decided to knit a similar scarf for my grandmother. For my grandmother I used the Miss Marple scarf pattern.
Christmas is the perfect time to enjoy tea and scones! To make my scones extra special I added chopped up fresh cranberries and orange zest. It was a festive combination that I would definitely make again.
I hope you all enjoyed a beautiful Christmas season! And I pray that the New Year ahead will be filled with blessings and joy!
"The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD. He delights in every
detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the
LORD holds them by the hand."
-Psalm 37:23-24
I love that flannel dress! It looks so warm and cozy.

How sweet those dresses are. They take me back to the days when my daughter was tiny and wore much the same style.

ReplyDeleteThank you Nikki! I used an older pattern called "Baby Square Yokes".
DeleteIts lovely to catch up with your posts Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI have been without a laptop for a while now but now I am back online and have enjoying seeing the posts I missed. There is only so much you can do on a phone.
Your homemade dresses are beautiful and also the little scarf. I am making myself a green Miss Marple scarf and have just made the twins one each.

I'm always ready for tea and scones! And I love that scarf pattern. Put the kettle on, and I'll be over for a knitting lesson!
