LOST CHRISTMAS AND ELF ON THE SHELF

While searching for some fabric to do a binding on my Crazy Christmas Trees I stumbled across another runner I started who knows when.  Since I am in the let's get some new Christmas runners finished up.  Yes, I know a bit late!!!  I figured I might as well pull it out and work on it.  Hey, by next Christmas I will have both runners done.  
As you can see it is pretty well along, some of the appliqués are sewn down, others need blanket stitching, and a number of berries and holly have fusing and are cut out ready to put down on it. 
So I started on the berries.  A great way to just do a couple a day and get this runner down.  
Best part of this is all the vines are hand appliquéd down already.  It is never too late.  
 Just to add a bit of humor to the holiday.  My second oldest daughter is a fifth grade teacher.  She is a tiny little thing 5"1' and maybe 105 pounds.  Every year she dresses up like the Elf on the Shelf and photos are taken and put up around the school to delight the children.  It has become a very popular activity at her school each year.

    Put that runner in a special place when it's finished so you don't forget about it next Christmas;-). Being a teacher is fun for many reasons. Happy New Year!

    Good for you for working toward Christmas 2019! (I do some of my best holiday making right after the new year, when I'm still in the holiday zone!) And thank you for sharing that pic of your daughter. Oh. My. Goodness!

    That is a really pretty runner, and why not finish it up now to use next year?! I'm a retired 5th grade teacher, so love the photo and story about your daughter, the elf. Please tell her I'm so impressed by her fun idea!

    I want to keep working on Christmas things too. You'll pat yourself on the back next Christmas when you get them out.
