The bakery is closed

Christmas is over

and the bakery is closed.

No more cookies for breakfast,

no more cake for desert.

all we need, now, is a little snow....

to put a big smile on our faces

and a fresh start on the new year!!!

Cheers!

Waiting for Santa

the stockings are hung from the chimney with care...........

Barney waits his arrival from the red leather chair...

while Daisy waits by the fireplace

to catch a glimpse there.

merry christmas to all

A few more favorites

How could I forget my favorite mug?  Together, again, for the holidays...

and chocolate chip cookies....

Barney (wearing a shawl I knitted)...

and Daisy (smelling the roses).

Blessings!

These are a few of my favorite things

These are vintage fruitcake tins. They were made in America. I get them out every Christmas and am always reminded of the year my sister and I made the New Year's resolution not to eat fudge for breakfast anymore. My aunt used to fill these tins with homemade fudge every year at Christmas.

The crocheted piece is a Christmas gift from a wonderful friend and neighbor. It was hand made in Germany. She had three. Now she has two.

 

This is a Christmas table topper I made this year.  It took me a while to cut into the fabric but, once I decided on this simple design, it was done in no time.  I decided to quilt in straight lines, rather than meander, and I think that was a good choice.

This is last year’s table topper hanging on a recent flea market find.

One more.

 It's raining and no one wants to go out to play.

Thats all, Folks!

It looks like Christmas

Just experimenting to see if I can create a blog and whether I can add a photo.

Oh look!! I can. 

There is no stopping me now!
