MY LITTLE TREE, ET AL

 

Here is my little tabletop tree ...

 The other night we looked out of our  window and 

saw : 

Full Moon 

So lovely

So mysterious and haunting...

Here is my little  tree in the dark

of night

It has those glowing lights that

alternate colors...

************************

I have been working on my next butterfly

after mailing off the two Butterfly

American Girl Dolly quilts to

my grandaughters today...

I love the outline shape of this one...

so lacey and delicate...

I am finding this embroidery very 

relaxing...

I am happy that I have 3 more left

to finish up as these pre-stamped

cross stitch embroideries are

hard to find.

Mostly I see "counted cross stitch" which

is not my forte...

***************************

Today was Post Office day and I

mailed out my packages and bought

Christmas stamps for my cards...

Our last grocery trip on Tuesday 

was a bust-- as after our big rain/wind storm,

the store had power outages and

as a result 

NO:

fresh veggies or

Meats

or Deli 

or Dairy!!

So, back I will go on Friday 

(OH JOY!!)

hoping that they 

will have re-stocked by then...

****************************

I hope you are staying well,

Hugs from far away,

(prepping for Christmas

and trying to keep 

my spirits up-euse)

OHHHH, CHRISTMAS TREE

We added lights to our tree by the sliding door; this plant looks like it has had a bad hair day~! (lol)

Our little tabletop fiber-optic tree....very Monet-like...................

And here is a collection of the 8 blocks finished and ready for embroidery next year 

these are the last two I've finished up--only 4 more to go! (See that little piece on the right, that's the border of a gift I am preparing...can't show you the rest yet...)

AND

they are really all on the darker side--perhaps it's the time of year, or my mood.

I am hoping that the embroidery will help to lighten them up....

So far, 5" of snow here on the Coast, falling steadily; supposedly it will increase overnight and then change over to freezing rain/sleet in the morning.......soooo, another inside day............................

to sew--if I can get my energy up for it...

hugs, Julierose, La blageuse

Merry Merry, Hurry Hurry

Here are the two LC's for my twin grandsons in progress--the top and bottom strips are leftovers from Superheros prints....

And here are pix of my tree and various ornaments

The caned rocking chair is my Great-Grandmother's and our Santa sits in it wearing the hat every year to distribute gifts!!

My Mom's ceramic "NOEL" and my reindeer on the mantle

My "Little Drummer Boy" needlepoint ornament in my needlepoint days.... and

My sweetie and I having a bit o' wine to celebrate putting the tree up....

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all the best to all
