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

Received some disturbing news about Mom in the nursing home today--sooo, had to get my spirits lifted:  Here's what i did:

And this is how I felt the whoosh of time flying by:

I have a really hard time during the holidays--with my darling Dad gone and Mom fading, it is hard for me to get into the spirit--not to complain--I have sooo much to be grateful for:

Here is a pix of my needlepoint ornament (there were three, but I gave one to each of my children last year:

I am thrilled that my children are coming on Monday after Christmas day--which Tommy and I will spend with Mom:

These are a few of the tags I made in my scrapping days:

Time moves on...

Every year we chose a person to be "santa" and he/she sits in my great grandmother's rocking chair to distribute the goodies.....wearing, natch!  Le Chapeau....

and so, mes amies...here is my latest folly--yet another project-- that called to me-- i HAVE to do it...

the very start of my" Jardin Spider Web"....love love love this pattern....so much fun--it totally lifted my spirits this fogbound day here in SE CT....Have a great week...
