FIRST REAL SNOW OF THE SEASON, et al

 

Here's our view from the  tv room on the

East side of our house...

I love how my climbing rose looks with

its snow frosting;)))

Tom put up those solar "flaming" lights

on each post--at night they just glow

and really do look like flames!! 

[My "10 yr old self" just loves to

watch them hahahaha].

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

Two of my Christmas Cacti are just

beginning to set bloom:

This lovely white one...

and

I am not sure if this is the yellow one???

We shall see...

The other two are stubbornly just 

waiting......👿

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

After yesterday's post--

here are the 3 I have finally

chosen to work on...

Early this morning, before I ventured out

into our frigid weather (Brrr 6 windchill),

I found what I think can be the backings for the

Christmas Strawberries

16" wide tablerunner.  

The rest of the red berries print used on the front

and this lovely leftover Christmas landscape

I found at the bottom of my Christmas box...

I am going for Christmassy prints as

these Strawberries do look like 

Christmas in their reds and greens...

to me...

I hope to sew this backing together

and layer 

this up 

this afternoon...

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

On this cold cold day I am cooking

us a chicken dinner with

all the fixins'--

[I cheated by purchasing 

a pre-cooked bird just

big enough for the two

of us with enough left

over for sandwiches

tomorrow...]

:'))))))

FIRST SNOW

We had our first snow yesterday afternoon into the evening--followed by sleet and then rain.

So it's all gone now, but it was so pretty when falling.  

DH helped me put up this very old wall hanging that I made when I first began quilting. (Eons ago it feels--I had forgotten all about this one...)

The opposite side is an Autumn--into Winter design....(this coming Fall I will turn it over and disclose that side).  At the time, I couldn't bear to cut into this gorgeous fabric--so evocative and charming.  so i just used the small piece I had and quilted freely...

And here it is on the wall over my wine chest in our dining room...

(Ooops--photo Crooked--but hangs straight) The bands on the top and bottom are a Japanese 

print--they are  asymmetrical a la style Japanese; it is all hand quilted....I loved working on this little hanging...

Have a wonderful Sewing Sunday
