I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

JOYEUX NOEL


OUR LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL FRENCH CLASS MADE THESE WREATHS
              AS A FUND RAISER THIS YEAR. IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE
                                                       TRAGEDY IN PARIS....and

Our next door neighbor's daughter is in that class group, so we decided to purchase one from her....

Isn't this lovely?  And then the class  also decorated them....we just really love it....

As I am really not in any mood to be putting up a tree this year after Mom's death--
this is just enough and perfect for us....
their card read:

                                                                 "JOI ET PAIX"
                                                                   Joy and Peace

How perfect is that.....I couldn't imagine hanging it outside, so it is on the wall adjacent to our kitchen so we can enjoy it there.....I just love the smell of fresh pine boughs....

I will be taking a bit of a break on the blog here ....I will be continuing on Steven's quilt--only
five more blocks to go before I can begin quilting....

And will continue my handworks....and my Circles of {My} Life....and hopefully
"Mr and Mrs Turkey Lurkey" will make an appearance soon....

hugs to you all--be back in a bit....hugs, and hold your loved ones close in these perilous times....

    Is this the first Christmas after your Mother's death? If so, go through the motions as much as you can, it really will help. The wreath is just enough & what a lovely message -- Joy and Peace.
    Take care.
