you've seen the bow ties ad nauseum and my secret sewing project has to remain under wraps until Christmas, so a few more decorating photos...
these three amigos were mom's...they have come south with me but miss the winter...i do too sometimes...i still wait for it but it just never comes!
santa's at the ready....
i did take this to the senior center to work on...more applique...
gatherings still to come, larder stocked, and have been fortunate to have heard mariah carey only ONCE...(i hate that song!!) budget required slimmed down gifts and cards but still plenty of obejoyful around. we are still grieving of course, a tough first Christmas, but tears just mean she was loved very much and tremendously missed, that's all. life goes on, just differently. now, gotta run and get ready for a night of games with the gals!
Yes life goes on and we must make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see the applique work carry on. hugs.
ReplyDeleteThe Santa trio are charming. Lovely applique. I don't like that song, either.
ReplyDeleteI love the Debbie Mumm Santa banner. I wish she was still designing Christmas fabric. I made a small Santa quilt years ago and still love it. I can't stand a certain song I don't even know the title to but I turn it off whenever I hear it. Something about "I gave you my heart and the very next day you gave it away".
ReplyDeleteHope you had fun at your game night.
I'm glad there are gals there for you to play games with.
ReplyDeleteI like your decorations.
And I admire the patience to do all that fiddly detail work to make such beautiful applique pieces!
Lovely to see your Christmas preparations. I'm sure I have said it before, this first one is the hardest, missing her will never go away but it gets easier. ((Hugs)) I still cry every Christmas when I pull out my Mum's ornaments and treasures. As you say it happens because she was much loved and very much missed.
