Holiday Characters in Cross Stitch

Everything is cuter in cross-stitch. It’s a fact.  

And you know what we all need during these dark political times–more cute (and diligent prayers).

I’m in a funny mood today.  

We are leaving on a BIG road trip tomorrow, so instead of packing/laundry/cleaning, I am doing something totally silly–making cross stitch patterns.  

And you know what, I’m having a ton of fun (so get off my back!).  

Before now most of my patterns have been of the Catholic persuasion, and I LOVE those patterns (in fact, I am currently stitching up a BIG project using my Catholic Saint Patterns that I can’t wait to share with you) but today I stepped away from all things strictly Catholic in favor of (dun dun dun) the secular.

So, I’m being a little dramatic, but, this is a bit of a departure for me.

I decided a while back that I was going to stop being a lame “lifestyle blogger”–meaning a blogger that posted about whatever tickled my fancy–and instead be a Catholic Mommy blogger.  

And I love what has happened around here once I dedicated myself to serving this specific and wonderful audience.

But I still kinda love Halloween–all of Halloween.  

Even the witches and vampires and zombies, I love it.  The block we live on has gone Halloween NUTS!  

One house a few blocks away have transformed their yard into a graveyard and it actually looks like zombies are crawling out of the earth.  

We drove by one night and it was all lit up, and I got major goosebumps–IT WAS AWESOME! 

Yes, it’s all silly compared to the grand feast of All Saint’s Day the following day, but I just can’t help loving Halloween.

And loving all the folksy Thanksgiving stuff.  And even Santa.

These are things I grew up with.  

They are holiday characters from stories I love and transforming them into cross-stitch characters this afternoon made me happy.  

I can’t wait to finish stitching up these holiday characters and adding them to my holiday decor.

And now that I’m done with the patterns…and this post…I guess this means that I need to get to work getting this family ready for a cross-country road trip.  Sigh.

Thank you for indulging me.

In Christ,
