Update & Pics

Hello friends! I'm sorry I've been a bit

quiet lately, many things on my mind. 

Sending out love, prayers and deepest 

sympathy to Connecticut families and their

loved ones. I've been missing my family, 

my ex boyfriend and I've just been very sad and 

depressed, trying to get the spirit of Christmas 

going around here. So today, I put some 

more ornaments on the tree, I'm playing Christmas music 

and making some home made pizza for dinner.

I may just make some cookie dough today as well!

I was glued to the tv the past 3 days and just 

crying my heart out, so today the tv is off, unless

 it's a Christmas show! :)

Below are some things I've been working on... 

I've been learning some Tunisian Crochet and

having a bit of fun with that...

Sending love to all... have a wonderful new 

week ahead. Blessings

Above is a Tunisian Crochet stitch something

or other... perhaps a table runner? The yarn isn't

too soft, but I like the way the variegated yarn

looks in this...I'll have to go through my yarn stash

and find some softer variegated yarn... maybe a baby

sweater would be nice with this stitch! 

Above is a hand knit chunky scarf

I have started using stockinette stitch

and bulky brushed acrylic yarn.

Above right and below right

is another Tunisian Crochet stitch,

this one is made with a very soft

teal colored mohair and acrylic blend

yarn...so snuggly! I love it! 

I'm not finished with any of these

projects yet... just working on them

all a little at a time. 

Below is the poor Christmas tree,

barren with no gifts... I put more 

decorations on it today to liven it 

up... I tried to get my son enthused 

about decorating but he's put it

off for a week... so it's up to Mom. 

Below is a stocking I made many years ago

in California... I have a few with different fabrics.

These are all lined so they are nice inside and out!

Especially when filled with Chocolate!! lol

I had to put some of my polar bears under

the tree in a wagon... they look cozy! 

Frosty has to stay out, he may melt!  

Fibre optic trees are really pretty... I like

the fact that I don't have to mess with those

little strings of lights and the tree

looks pretty with or without ornaments!

I have so much more Christmas stuff downstairs,

but I think the tree looks festive enough...

Below are a nice snowman and tree made

out of wood from my youngest son when he was in

pre-school...he's a crafty guy too!  

That's all folks! Enjoy the new week ahead...

Love and blessings to all.
