Tennessee Ridge pattern..

No one seems to be sewing, including myself. And I made this one last month so she doesn't count. Motivation needed.

Men....

Tall and handsome, short and handsome.....




Tyler, Dylan, Jordan and Jake...


What does that mean?


Charlie and John Michael...

Ready?

I walked out this morning and it's there waiting for me. No snow at all..
My favorite so far, now if I can figure out how to put these two together.

If you like a good story to read with your morning coffee, go to Roger Eberts blog, here.
We are seeing lots of movies, some good, some not so, favorite so far of course is True Grit. Altho, I had hoped Kevin Costner would get a shot at playing Rooster, I guess Jeff Bridges was already in the mode for it. And what do I know, anyway.

We are going to have a good year, Barb and I decided on the phone last night, we will be kinder, stronger and wiser. Yea!

Merry Christmas

Charlie's ice....darn, I forgot my skates.....


My little nativity, Rebecca bought for me at a grade school gift fair. She is a senior this year.

And my favorite poem for Christmas is by Edmund Vance Cooke.

"Tis not the weight of jewel or plate,
Or the fondle of silk or fur;
Tis the spirit in which the gift is rich,
As the gifts of the wise ones were;
And we are not told whose gift was gold...
Or whose was the gift of myrrh."

A Story for Christmas I'm passing along...

The Cozy Yellow House Wishes You A Very Blessed Christmas Season!!: ~A Christmas Story~

You will like this story. It came to me via way of Rusty Thimble.

I'm going to Jonesville today to visit. It will be beautiful I know and I can see (not use) Charlie's outdoor ice rink and see Rebecca too.

A little snow today to make things white. Have a good Wednesday everyone.

From 1998....

Some of you will remember Lauren's booth at Town Peddler. We went there first to see what she had new.

This wall hanging was at Kynda's house. Dated 1998. Wonder what Lauren is doing these days. I hope she is still creating.

Happy Tuesday before Christmas 2010.

I'd Know You Anywhere......

Today I was at the Salvation Army store in Livonia and I bumped into this guy. It went like this...

Me: My, My, I haven't seen you in I bet about twenty years. You are looking really good!

Santa: I feel great, I've been living with some nice people who took really good care of me. However, they are moving this year so I was sent here to be with some of my old friends and help out the Salvation Army.

Me: It's so good to see you again...would you like to go to Tim Horton's for some coffee and then to my house. I have some friends who would like to see you too, Barb and Jackie, remember them?

Santa: Sure do, are they still making stuff?

Me: They are, and I have more friends now who appreciate handmade Santas like you. I'll put you on my blog so lots of them can see you. So let's go....Ho, Ho, Ho......

This is the end of the story but we left together, after all, I made him...all those years ago.
No way was I leaving him behind.
