From My Home to Your Home


The Christmas village is all set up on the china cupboard.
This is a collection that I started quite a few years ago and added a house or two each year.

It all started with these little houses that are actually candles that have never been lit.

Along came the candy land houses.

One year I found some lighthouses decked out for winter.

The mountain chalets sit high above the lighthouses

There are 2 little houses that I stitched on 14 count plastic canvas using embroidery thread.

And here are 2 more and a little garage all stitched the same way.

There is even a village with a station, a grocer and an inn.
There are multi story houses and apartment buildings.

From my home to your home I wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

  3. Merry Christmas to you too, Linda. The villages are so cute - I have one I started a number of years ago too - I love it and so do my grandsons who look for the "creepy man" in one of the store windows each year.
