Can you believe that there was no crocheting done today! I really was going to try and work on my December Doily but got puttering with Christmas decorations and lost track of time ... here is a bit of the results.
See this angel, she really is beautiful. I have had her for about 15 years. One morning when I arrived at work I found this box, beautifully wrapped, sitting in the hallway at the door to my office. This angel is what was inside. There was a card addressed to me and a nice sentiment for a happy holiday but without a name. It certainly was a lovely jesture and I always thought I knew who may have left her but she wouldn't say she did. Each Christmas that I take her out I silently thank her giver for this treasure she gave me.
$195!
The lighted angel is new this year ... a gift from my son, a treasure.That's just a peek ... will get better pictures another time. Time for some rest, hopefully will finish tomorrow ... maybe the decorating and the doily.
I am feeling more festive already! I love the idea of your little trees in the cups! So cute! Hugs, Kerrie
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Gloria. Love the snowmen in the bay window. If I had a bay window that's what I would do, too. :) Your decorations are beautiful! I have yet to get started making things look like Christmas around here. Maybe tomorrow or Monday, though. :)
ReplyDeleteThe trees look very festive in the cups, very good idea. Your angel was a wonderful gift. She is beautiful and what a fun memory!

You made me want to pull out my Christmas stuff. I love how you have done your decorations. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMe again, Gloria. ;) Ever since I saw your snowman display, I know I just *have* to display mine this year. Last year I was too lazy to get them out. I know...shame on me. What do you use for the snow in your display?
ReplyDeleteAlso wanted to mention that I love your angel and the story behind it. What a sweet and thoughtful thing for somebody to do. :)
Your tree cups are adorable as well. Thanks for all the inspiration! :D

ReplyDeleteHi Gloria, sounds like you had an enjoyable day and you can't beat that.. Love both your angels and the snowmen are so cute. No snow here i'm afraid, been quite hot the last week or so. Would love a snowy christmas for a change but any christmas with the love of family around you is always the best time... Hope you have a happy and merry christmas.. :))
