"In the meadow..."



Christmas carols are running through my mind lately. I guess that is what inspired my Christmas landscape postcard. "In the meadow we can build a snowman..." They are all cut out now. I have one fused and three to go and than some thread painting to add to the scene. Having fun playing with these in between loads of laundry etc today. I'll show you the finished cards later today or tomorrow.

I did make it to visit my mom yesterday. It was very nice. The retirement home was decorated beautifully for the holidays. They had cookies and coffee and a sing-a-long. They had a few people playing instruments as well. One played violin which was my mom's instrument too, so she enjoyed hearing that. She also liked Emma's tree and it is now hanging on the door to her room.

I took a photo of the stitchery I did for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Thought I would share that with you. This is one of the many mementos hanging in her room that make it feel like home to her.

Sounds like the washer has stopped so I'd better run.
Have a creative day.

Emma's tree decorated

My plant is blooming again! I just love flowers like this in December!


Thought I would do a quick post to show you Emma's tree with decorations. This one is going to my mom tomorrow. At least I hope it is. I came down with something on Friday and wasn't able to go to the Christmas brunch today. I was looking forward to this as I have never gone before. I even finished my stocking to give to the children's home before I was attacked by something nasty. I'm feeling somewhat better now and hopefully one more good nights sleep will take care of it.

Anyway, here is the decorated tree


Here is the label I made for the back.



Here is the stocking I made for the Children's home. I will have to call on Monday and see if I can mail it to them.



Otherwise my eighteen year old says it is time for the Care Bear Stocking to go. Do you think he would take Winnie the Pooh as a replacement? Hummm...... Here is the Care Bear Stocking I made when he was little. I think he is just wanting a larger stocking!



Have a Creative Day
