Wishing you all a healthy, happy, creative, and blessed New Year!
I debated on whether to share this on the last day of 2019 or the first day of 2020 for my blog book, and decided that the first day of the New Year was more appropriate.
For the last two years, I've published calendars of my paintings as gifts for my best friends, my aunt, and some special cousins that I grew up with, and, of course, one for myself. They seem to enjoy them, so this year I published two versions of the stitch meditations I started doing in July of this year. I ordered eight of each version from Vistaprint during a half price sale, and this time, instead of just having the photo, I used the templates with Bible verses and inspirational quotes. I'm very pleased with the outcome. 😉
I didn't do it intentionally, but when I looked at the calendar page photos, as they came up on my computer screen, many of the quotes matched the meditations perfectly, which makes me happy. I hope the recipients see that, as well.
Sorry about the slight light glare on some of the photos. I got two new floor lamps with daylight bulbs, but don't have them set up for good photography yet. The other half page is just the days with large squares for writing down appointments, etc.

When I had the calendar published a few weeks ago, I had thirteen stitch meditations done, exactly how many I needed for the calendar pages, and that is what I used. I am now working on #21. Each meditation has it's own post here, if you're interested in seeing better photos/details of them. Just click on stitch meditations in the labels on the sidebar!
Prayers for spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical healing for us all in the coming new year! May the Lord bless and keep us, and give us the strength and courage that we need to face whatever comes our way each day, and may we always be grateful and give thanks. No matter how bad we may think it is, it can always get worse.
