A Holiday Season....Week One

With great excitement I show the cool swag on this tree...Variagated thread and my little star stitch..Perfect!!

Some of my work in the art room display...Accuquilt snowflakes for Christmas and Hannukah!!

Plus little hanging made for me by my girl many years ago.

The little snowmen are memories from yesteryear...When  my son was in fourth grade.  He hunted the acorn hats..Together we sprayed the clothespins and dotted the face with marker...I love them still

My improv tree quilt was chosen for exhibit this year.

Housewarming potholder for a friend who changed apartments.

She loves to embroider so I put this scrap piece together with a snippit of my grandmother's doily.

My talented grandmother lived from 1896 to 1996.

And, in Portland, our four year old Aoife visits the Llama holiday get together...A  yearly event for them.

Her Irish sweater celebrates the season with the Irish word for Christmas.

Mrs O'Quilts is finally getting an attitude adjustment.  It is not just old lady me with pain and grief..

The world is full of it and so is my apartment complex...

Getting a grip for the holidays with my new role as potholder queen.

Found my name here on one of the doors in our main building.

Why, I have no clue....but it kinda makes me smile:).

Continuing my prime goal of :  "Bloom Where You are Planted"

Already first week of December.
