Christmas the old fashioned way

 I love the old fashion Christmas cards.

Simple and sweet.

The winter scenes are precious.

 I love this chicken one.

Life was simple back then.

Some of them have metallic accents.

Yesterday was a busy one.

We went to Shipshawanna for a concert.

Left at noon and got back home at midnight.

I was awake from 3 am Friday to 2 am Saturday,

so I spent most of today taking naps.

Have a nice quiet week end all.

Home made Christmas cards

 Made 16 Christmas cards yesterday.

Fish theme for my kids and the rest

were more Christmas oriented.

I am being too efficient I have my

out of state gifts ready and will ship

them on Monday. Christmas may be

relaxing this year.

 These photos are awful but my main computer

has a bug and my camera battery needs charging

but cannot find my charger. I will drop off

the computer at the serviceman today

I ordered a new charger  and it should

be here by Saturday. My main computer

is the best at editing photos and the

little camera does not take the best photos.

 I like the holiday themed cards the best,'

What is your opinion.

Red Chairs

I made a Christmas gift today.

I think I may have to make myself one.

Makes you relax just looking at it

I  get to start something new tomorrow.

Love the unknown.

It is 9 pm and I am wide awake.

I ate too much dark chocolate today.

Bad idea.

We are supposed to get winter back with

a vengeance so I filled the bird feeder to

over full put 2 new suet cakes out and I

hope that will hold the birds until Christmas.

Well I better make a double strength cup

of chamomile tea and hope I get some sleep.



Yesterdays work

 I finished up two 8x10  water scene art quilts.

Fun and easy to do. I love transferring photos to

fabric and than adding to it my special touches.

Today I will do another red chair art quilt. I

started it yesterday. This morning I made use of

Amazon Prime to finish my Christmas shopping

for 2 of my great grandchildren I bought them

art supplies. Must keep the artists going in our family.

It is amazing how the genes follow the family.

My mother to me, me to my daughter and grand

daughter,  my daughter to her grand daughter

my great grand daughter. Each generation seems to

get better. That is why I gift them with art supplies.

Well I am off to the studio for 2 hours than a busy day.

Finished Two

 I finished  up the details of these two started in

November. Both are nicer than what I have done in

the past. Brighter colors. Now to see which one Dana

wants than I will know which one is mine.

I frankly like the yellow one.

I realized yesterday that there are only 21 days

until Christmas. I had better kick it in gear.

Life gets a little crazy around Christmas.

Yesterday afternoon I cooked and sliced 30

pounds of pork. We are going to have pork

sandwiches for Christmas along with

Turkey wings barbecued for dinner.

Deviled eggs and  baked beans.

 Picnic anyone.

The beauty of having it at my house I get

to choose the menu.
