Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to one and all.  I hope you have a wonderful day no matter where you are. 

We are in for storms.  It will be wet, it is much too warm for snow.  If it was going to be snow we would definitely have a white Christmas.  Actually for some reason green just doesn't do it.  One day of snow would be nice. 

I don't do much decorating, one thing it is a lot of work.  I have two trees in my attic.  I can't get in the attic.  Last year I bought this little tree, it is cute and perfect for me.  It gives me a little of that Christmas spirit.  I had the reindeer in my closet.  He is precious to me.  I bought him many many years ago in a shop in Oceanside, CA.  The Dickens houses I have collected over many many years.  I scatter them here and there.   I rarely buy any any more.  One thing you have to store them.  I have a large glass cabinet I keep them in year round.  It is too difficult to put them back into their boxes and take them in and out.  This works..........
At one time, it would take me 3 days to decorate and then there was the putting away.  This I can do in about 20 minutes or so.  As most of you know, I do not have relatives here, so the decorating is for me. 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas From A  to Z.........Warmest Wishes to You From Me
This quilt I made in 2007.  It started as a panel.  I hand embroidered the black in the borders and added seven borders to the panel.  I quilted it with gold thread so it has a little sparkle to it.  I think I should add Swarski crystals to it.  That would really make it sparkle and give it a lot of zing.

I went shopping................

Yesterday, I went shopping and to lunch with a friend. We had a great time going here and there. In one of the shops I found this little tree. It is a music box, plays several songs, turns in circles and the lights light up and blink. I wish it would play longer. It is one of those that you push a button and it plays rather than winding it up. So cute, I could not resist.

And the rooster, isn't he adorable. I have roosters in my kitchen but they can't be just any rooster, they have to be special.

Christmas is just around the corner, and I have oodles to do. I still have shopping, quilting and life to take up my time.

This quilt, I made a few years ago. It is a panel and I added 7 borders to it and did the embroidery. I also did the quilting with gold thread. It glistens in the light. The little snow people sing. They are just too cute.

It is a dreary day today, 53 degrees. I am ready for sunny weather. We had a little snow on Friday. That is rather unusual.
