The Feast of Christ the King (one of my favorite Feast Days!) marks the last Sunday of the Liturgical Calendar…Advent starts NEXT WEEK! The Jubilee Year dedicated to the theme of Mercy begins shortly after that, on December 8th!
I finally made my own family set of Jesse Tree ornaments, thanks to Faith and Fabric‘s Jen Frost and her awesome new Our Family’s Jesse Tree printable. I originally intended to make them out of construction paper and laminate them, but Jen’s awesome pattern inspired me to go with felt. Look how cute they are!
I realized that I was a little intimidated by that much hand sewing…but then I remembered Thermoweb Heat’n Bond Ultra Hold Iron-On Adhesive-17″X36″ *affiliate link and the little ornaments went together relatively fast! The printable also includes activities, referenced Scripture, reflections and a prayer for each day, associated with each ornament. Here’s my post about Our Family’s Jesse Tree but if you’re looking to purchase your own printable, you’ll want to go straight here: Faith and Fabric
