QUESTION TO COMPUTER GURUS OUT THERE...

 I cannot add any photos to my blog all of a sudden...

Does anyone know why and/or how to fix this problem 

In English??? ;)))

Thanks  Julierose

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,

and trying to keep 

my spirits up-euse)

"ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH"

 

I finished binding and

labelling my 

Christmas wall hanging...

"Angels We Have Heard on High"

one of my favorite Christmas carols.

This was part of a Jan Patek pattern

that I machine appliqued...

and hand quilted

I love that my little angel

is made from Tom's Pj's ;)))

I don't have many fabrics that

are usually used in "Prim" pieces;

so he's one pair down--- hahaha.

I also have been making a secret gift for 

someone special

here is a sneak peek at the back

I just fell in love

with this Vintage fabric...

Isn't it neat???

So evocative of happy times....

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

And staying with the Christmas theme today

I began making some little Christmas trees

I am using Amy Smart's

(Diary of a Quilter)

method....

These are such fun to make..

she's right, you can't

just make one...;)))

💝💝💝

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

I have also picked up my next butterfly

[now that my "to be mailed"

gifts are done]

and am working on it slowly...

I hope you are all enjoying your long weekend,

getting some sewing in, and 

staying safe

Put the pie together to bake

Our little Holiday Eve

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 

FROM OUR HOUSE

Stay safe, distanced

BUTTERFLY WORKS

 

Hand Quilting finished on this one

AND 

on

This one, too...

So, tomorrow I can begin machine quilting 

the holding stitches on the 

 long border rows along

the Snow Geese strips 

and the borders...

I just quilted around each butterfly

and then the Snow Geese centers

by hand using DMC #8

Perle Cotton threads.

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

We are about to watch the final segment of

"Roadkill" on 

Masterpiece Mystery...

I hope you all had a wonderful

weekend...

FAIRY LIGHTS TREE FINISH

 

I did enjoy working on this

small canvas....

And now I am moving

onto a much larger

AND

 a vintage Christmas illustration one....

↧↧↧↧

It uses 39 different diamond

colors which I sorted

and numbered and put 

into my little square bead boxes 

this afternoon.

I am excited to be working on this one...

the diamonds are Square---

So,  this feels a bit different from

the round ones I was using

on Fairy Lights.

But the process is the same...

only I find that I have to place them

MUCH more slowly to get them

straight in their little boxes!!👀

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

And since it is still November for at

least a few more days,

 I include a picture of

my Starry-Eyed Jack 

in place in my living room...

He resides on the end of my 

Grand-mere's old bureau...

Held with my little tiffany lamp and 

the little picture of my

Godfather, Uncle Julian,

(my Mom's brother)

with his beloved dog, Briney...

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

We awakened this morning to 20 degree weather

and breezy conditions...

VERY

C O L D !

I hope you are staying warm and safe...

Hugs,

GOOD MORNING ALL

 

Early Morning Light

View from my window 

while sipping frothed coffee...

[FYI : you can see our new fence 

blocking out that old blue bus and

junk all over neighbor's yard...;)))]

I love how the bare trees

lace across the morning skies...

Sunrise on another day....

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

Look what I found at early morning grocery shopping

yesterday...

↧↧↧↧

A lovely red/mauve Christmas Cactus

to add to my meager collection...

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

Today I hope to begin hand quilting

Fiona's Purple Butterfly...

Hugs from afar,
