IT IS SNOWING!

Yesterday evening, it started to snow!

Two excited little hurried out to make a snowman

It kept on snowing...

and soon a big snowman was up in our backyard

Two cold little ones came in the door

and I had made some Christmas bread,

after reading this blog, it was yummy

I am still knitting on my new project,

next time you stop by, I will tell you what it is!

I got some very sad news this morning,

a dear friend in Houston past away 

yesterday, she had been fighting 

breast cancer.... .

She will be missed dearly by her 

husband and two sons and her friends

all over the world...

CHRISTMAS HOUSE

WELCOME

 to a little sneak peak inside our Christmas house!

In the kitchen is the Christmas book out

and the  hyacinths are blooming in the windows, 

I need to get some more, these will not last long...

The chandelier is decorated with red ribbons

Birds, ribbons and santa's 

are now filling up the house

We always find time for our Sunday walk, 

in beautiful, cool weather

And a new project is on my needles. 

I will be back soon!

3 YEARS AGO....

Happy Birthday!

3 years ago, our twins were born at Woman's hospital of Texas .

they are growing up ..

and here they are today !

Christmas concert at school last week

It is a busy time of the year for birthdays.

and party at "Build a bear" today..

I am slowly back to normal after my recovery, and

today I got all our Christmas cards out

to around the globe.

tomorrow is another

party for two excited little ones...

 

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

This weekend we made some decorations from vintage sheet music.

Cut out hearts, put three on top of each other and sew a

machine seam, and you have some nice 3D hearts

I made seven in a row, but they will look nice one by one

in a red ribbon too...

I have orders on the champagne santas,

and alot of santa hats was knitted.

Another easy decoration, get out your glue gun,

a nice basket, ribbons and some nuts,

and in one, two, three you have another decoration!

Have a nice week!

GETTING BETTER....

It has taken a while to recover from my surgery.

But now I am getting better day by day and some

knitting energy is back...

I have finished this sweater ....

with yarn from "Wool in the Woods", it contains 2% poly,

that looks like snowflakes on the yarn,

not easy to get in the picture.

Also knitted this easy cowl, it was a kit that I bought

at "the Wool shed" when I visited Aberdeen earlier this year.

Wonderful soft cashmere wool.

Now it is time to get out Christmas decorations, back soon!

Have a wonderful week end!
