Dec 23rd

Right on!!!

Lovely!!!

I really wanted to share this picture but still wanted to give credit where credit is due!  

Thank you Margreet for posting this lovely display! Nifty use of carefully skinned Mandarin oranges for creativity!!!

I'm really really really grateful for my "artsy" sister! AND very proud of her many talents!

See some time ago (this was originally blogged Sept 18, 2008) she made a couple Eagle wall hangings that she had cut up from a horizontal panel and made it vertical and used a smaller eagle from a pillow square - just lovely. WELL the next one she used the same panel with it's large eagle, again changing to a vertical and added in more water, trees, clouds and another smaller eagle.

I was crying scared 😱 witless that it was going to be ruined!!!  She totally flabbergasted me with the end result!

Now WHAT!!!

And the two hangers, the second on the right with a different eagle! 

This is Sylvia's hanger with a medium sized eagle and the corner accessories!!!

So last week she pulled out a gifted puzzle and started on it, this time I only got over for two short setting sessions before she finished it off! Then she realized it was by the same artist that made the eagle panels and pillow covers she had used. Well I just had to show both of these off!

A gifted puzzle just completed. 

Look they are both by the same artist!!!!!

Dec 24th - Christmas Eve

I've always loved this message so sending it again!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my family and friends!!!

I'm staying put, relaxing with the pets and setting Taunya's puzzle. I should have taken pictures of her progress before working on it a bit. This way I'll know what to dismantle so she can work on it again! I even sorted the various pieces into groups. But it would be easier with a white tablecloth, even though I'd hate to cover such a lovely table!!!

My different Christmas Eve dinner! Yummy!
