25 days til Christmas

Whew wee...did any of you get caught up in Black Friday or Cyber Monday???
I stayed home and my grandson, Zachary , & I put up our Christmas tree.....it always goes up the Saturday after Christmas.
I love this time of year, don't you? With the antcipation of greeting or hearing from old friends. Smelling that fresh baked flavor of cookies that  float thru the house and seeing that first snow flake of winter. Wow!
Today, Zach & I will decorate the house with my collection of Santa's , that gives we a twinkle in my eye all month long.

Misty Memories by Barbara Linzey

Gentle rain is falling,
Weather is cold and damp; causing one to shiver.
Surrounding mountains covered in wispy clouds,
like smoke reaching to the river.
Sweet memories of Scotland comes to mind.......
Same wispy clouds on mountainside, moor and glen making up the highlands.
It's a world surreal, a world of foggy mist, a world of make believe, a world of
unseen faries..........
Amongst the dew and mist, fern and old oak tree ,dewy mist that follows the ground
and river bed.
It floats through the forest like wispy smoke across the forest floor and bubbling brook;
alive and free..........

Grandmothers Red Work

Red work is the Art of Embroidering a simple outline pattern, using a simple stem stitch.
DMC Red floss #498, DMC Blue Floss # 311 and DMC Green Floss #561 can be used.
Red work is used on many things like napkins, tea towels, pillows and quilts. The most
common designs were animals, flowers, fruit, vegtables, children and nursery rhymes.

I hope you will enjoy some of our designs.
