A Very Merry Christmas

This Christmas Season has come upon us so fast. It took a while for me to get into the spirit of it all. It's been a little difficult this year, since I won't get to share it with all four of our children and grandchildren, but, I managed to keep pushing myself and do a little everyday. After a week or two, it hit me. I even decorated my curtain rod, in my kitchen.

I was all set to hit the stores and fight the crowds, today, and look for a table runner. To my delight, I received this in the mail today. Cecelia, a very special friend, miss her so much, made this for me. Perfect timing and perfect on my table.
Thank you SO much, Cecelia, for always thinking of me.

Crafty Christmas Fun

Up a little to early this morning but thought I would make use of the extra time before I head off to work.
Feeling somewhat festive this season so I decided to take a break from our remodeling and have some crafty fun. Found this pattern on Pinterest, love the pleat in the center.

Thought this would add a nice accent to dress up an outfit. I used Patons Silk Sequence. I bought two scenes, since each scene is 2 ply, I doubled the yarn. Quick and easy, my kind of craft.
Makes a nice Christmas gift too.
