"CAREFULLY stitch baby Jesus front to baby Jesus back"

Last year Grammy Joan found me a fun nativity set sewing kit at Goodwill. I started it last December, but didn't get it done. I was excited to find it in the Christmas craft box when I brought it up last week.


It's one of those projects that I thought would take forever, but actually didn't take long at all!


It makes me happy to think about playing with it for years and years and years.

I'd be tempted to put a dinosaur in the manger scene to illustrate how all creation will bow the knee to Christ. A little humor with a little theological opportunity- silly me.

Good work!

We inherited 2 plush/sewn nativity scenes and the kids love to play with them. However today I heard myself say, "That's not nice, please don't throw baby Jesus on the floor." :)

I think a dinosaur in the stable is a wonderful idea!

And yes Sara-it is the trouble-as I was making them I told Anna "Don't shove baby Jesus down into the foam, you're getting him all fuzzy."
