Christmas Eve
There are so many ways to start preparing for a wonderful Christmas Eve. Here are a few of them.
Receive a lovely Christmas ornament especially made for you by a dear friend. Thank you Harmien - I love it!
Make your very first speculaas pop. I made the dough and DH did the rest. Yes friends I'm a very lucky girl to be married to a talented guy who enjoys preparing for Christmas just as much as I do. We will be making several more poppen to give to neighbors as Christmas gifts.
Complete a piece entitled - you guessed it - 'Christmas Eve'. I dyed the fabric with coffee, tea and every suitable spice I could find in the pantry to give it the perfect color. It smells fantastic! I will not be able to finish finish it before Christmas Eve because the tray I made it for needs a little more work.

Oeh, die speculaaspop ziet er lekker uit!! Alles goed? Heb aan jullie gedacht! Christmas Eve is prachtig!! Fijne Kerst!!!
heerlijk, met een glaasje gluhwein erbij ?
je borduurwerk is prachtig, fijne feestdagen !
LOL!!! I don't have a clue what you and your DH made but it warms my heart that you did it together and isn't that what it important.
Your Christmas Eve piece is breathtaking! I may have to add that to my ever growing wish list...I wish it were on an ever growing Finished list...but next year is coming, right?
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
What a wonderful gift from Harmien. I can smell that baking from here.
Happy Christmas my friend.
Pretty ornament that you received and I love your finish. DH did a great job :)
I'm working on the same pattern! But only the middle part is done because I'm a mad zapper... and I can't stitch at the moment anyway.
Great job!
Harmien's gift is a wonder, I so love it.
Would gladly invite myself to taste these speculoos... but you're definitely too far. I'll ask DH, he's very much like Marcus when it comes to Xmas. I can't wait for his next batch of cinnamon cookies. Yummy...
Have a great Xmas.
Merry Christmas ! That's a lovely gift recieved. Congrats on finishing Christmas Eve.
Beautiful...both the cookie and the stitching! :-)
I wish you a most wonderful and magical Christmas. Watch out...you nutcrackers might come to life tonight.
Christmas hugs,
Heidi
Merry Christmas, Margaret!
Love Harmien's ornament. Your Christmas Eve is fantastic and will look great in a tray. Can't wait to see it. Happy New Year!
