Red

 Finally some snow.

 Just makes the red stand out more.

Winter on the hill

We were gone overnight for another concert.

We both agreed that it is better to have more

time between events. We did not enjoy this

one. Both of us  agreed that a 3.5 hour trip one

way is too long a ride just for a concert.

I remember saying this the last time we

went there. Need to post a big note to remind me.

NO MORE CONCERTS IN ANDERSON.

 

 I usually see lots of cardinals but not this year.

So I have to content myself with looking at

some of my cardinal art. We are supposed to

get another big snow. :(  11 days until Christmas.

Time to finish all the little details.

You may not hear form me as regular until after

the holidays just too much going on.

Saturday I will take all my boxes to the UP

pick up and than get my Christmas cards

addressed and out. :) glad we only do this

once a year.

Christmas is for the birds.

 After looking at Frieda Anderson's Santa collection

on her blog Friestyle.

I thought I would share some of my bird (obsession)

I meant collection. I love birds.

At Christmas I decorate with birds.

 This is my Christmas tree it is only 3 ft tall.

The perfect size to put me in the Holiday spirit,

It is covered in cardinals.

 A day would not be complete without watching the birds

out my kitchen window which is decked out in more birds.

My husband made me a new bird feeder this winter.

Its really a small house for the birds.

Now all we need is some snow.

Cardinals in the Pines.

 I am making a series of quilt cards for Christmas.

Last winters photographs are  great for these.

 I print them on to Kona  cotton  with my ink jet.

 Iron them to fusible batting.

 Then I add thread   painting with variegated thread.

One I added some hand embroidery ,

I do not like that as much as the first one.

I will offer these on my blog after Thanksgiving.

I have 3 shows to do before then.
Well off to the studio.
Tonight we go the the Lighthouse restaurant for supper.
Thanks to kids who give gift certificates.
