All kinds of things happened last fall. I was going to add, “as usual,” but really, more than the usual stuff happened last fall. My final Christmas in July report got forgotten in the shuffle.
The good news is that the Santa Train was finished on time!
In Week 13, I finished the second candy cane and did the wreath and gift box for the train.
Week 14 was about putting a bow on the wreath and starting the teddy.
The teddy and a Christmas ornament for the train’s roof were the jobs for Week 15.
The teddy bear turned out so cute, I wanted to show him to you up close.
And finally, we come to Week 16, when I made a green gift box with lots of little embroidered exxes (xs?), sewed it and the second candy cane on the train roof, and attached the hanging loop. Yay! It’s finished!
We hung the Santa Train inside our front door, where every time we went in or out, it sparkled thrillingly.
I have two more Christmas kits somewhere. They are probably in a box in my parents’ storage barn, that we have forgotten about since we moved back to Texas in 2003. If they show up, my Christmas in July 2018 project will be finishing one of them. If I can’t find them in a last ditch effort to empty all the moving boxes (argh!!), here’s a peek at my Plan B for 2018.
