It is that time again......Blue Monday! Yay! Thank you to Sally at Smiling Sally for hosting this wonderful event for us every week. We would sure be blue without it.
First up is a snowman plate I have. Really the only one I have. It was given to us a few years ago with some goodies on it and the plate was part of the gift. Isn't it cute? I wish I had more of these. This makes a good display plate for my kitchen for January. It will be moved to it's display spot after I take down Christmas things this week.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying.
Five Golden Rings.
Four calling birds,
Three french hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.

Yesterday was our Christmas pageant. It was called "The Surprising Christmas Pageant". And yes I will post pics of me and hubby in costume soon, like tomorrow. That is my plan. It includes a Bathroom Diva picture! Shelia, are you ready for a new Bathroom Diva picture? I hope so because I have one. Anyway, in the meantime I have a couple more pictures with BLUE in them. There was potluck luncheon after the pageant. The tables in the fellowship hall were decorated in different ways.
One of the tables had this Nativity scene on it. It has lots of BLUE in it. And it is made from pre-printed fabric panels. What is charming is that the person who made this set also embellished the figures with beads, sequins and yarn to add interest and detail to it. I just love this set. I don't remember ever seeing this pre-printed fabric in the fabric stores. If I can ever find it, I definitely want to get a panel or two or three. If anyone can direct me to a source I would love to know where I can get it, if it is still available.
The first pictures was taken with the flash and this one without. These are stuffed and weighted down with some type of poly-pellets or maybe rice or something. Happy Blue Monday! And thank you again to Smiling Sally for hosting Blue Mondays for us. Go on over to see who else is posting for Blue Monday.

I love that cloth nativity set. I would love to make one, too! Let me know if you ever find the panel. What fun you must have at your church. I wish I could see you and yours in your Christmas Pageant. Your posts are always so much fun and so uplifting and inspiring. Thanks for sharing. And Happy Twelfth Night!
Your snowmen plate is darling; perfect for winter decoration. You know I love nativities, and this one is so neat. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
Hi Linnea, your snowman plate is so cute. I notice you didn't put any goodies on it. I still have cookies and I wish I didn't. LOL.
The nativity scene embellished is beautiful. What a nice job. Potluck sounds like lots of yummy food. Mmmmmm.

That is one of the cutest nativity displays! And to embellish it is truly creative! Hope you find the panels to make one yourself. Have a great Monday!

I really like the plate. I love the Navity sets too! Happy Blue Monday!
What a wonderful nativity set, although I do like the plate as well.
I think your snowman plate would look great in my corner cupboard with my other snowman items. Think about it...
Such a cute snowman plate. The Nativity is wonderful. I would be interested in purchasing the fabric also. Happy Blue Monday!

That's a pretty plate. I can see why you'd like more!!! What a lovely cloth nativity set that is. If I ever see anything like that I'll be sure to let you know where!
take care,

Just catching up on your blog. I've fallen down in my reading and blogging lately. I love that nativity but I don't sew. I really love Princess House too! Libby@Neas Nuttiness used to have parties when she was in Florida.
You answered my question before I finished reading the post... how sweet the soft sculptured Nativity is!
Love your snowman plate--perfect for January! Glad you're enjoying Stella's adventures!
Your snowman (men?) plate is tooo cute!! Sorry, I can't help you on the nativity fabric set - I can't sew a lick and stay away from fabric stores!! It is very cute though - Happy Blue Monday!
What a cute snowman plate - I'm throwing my hat in the ring -LOL! Always plenty of blue in a nativity! Happy Blue Monday! ~ Robyn
Your snowman plate is so dear! I love the color...and what a treasure this cloth nativity is!
It is darling!
I always love to see what you have for these special days...have a good week dear lady!
Love,

Happy New Year and Happy Blue Monday, too :o) Your snowman plate is sweet and I love the shade of blue. January is snowman month for me, too, a holdover from my days as a kindergarten teacher ... I have dozens of snowmen and I love having a chance to get them out at this time of year.

Hey, my mom sewed this Nativity scene for my kids.And every year,the kidscan't wait to get to be able to set it up and play with it, and to tell the Christmas Bible story along with it.As they're telling the story, they move the pieces, in order to actout the story. It's so much fun, and biblical, too!
