About the tree...

As promised, here is the miniature stocking--designed by Hands To Work--It is one inch in width, stitched on 40-count Pear (Lakeside) using a deep purple for the stitching. Of course, it doesn't show the colors here, but it is really very pretty, and my favorite finish for my holiday attempts so far.

My newest ornament, from Weathered & Worn

If you read Paulette's last post, this is the little ornament that she gave to me on Thanksgiving Day. I absolutely love it! I have always wanted one of these strawberry-type ornaments, but again, my (lack of) patience prevents me from doing one. Paulette is like her dad; she has the patience of Job.

 The annual holiday ornament from Starbucks..of course, from YKW! We have, like, 12 years of them, and to my dismay, my little office tree somehow toppled last year and broke one of them. I keep waiting to see if YKW will give me HERS. Humph!

Oh..and this is the love present that went with the ornament, to my SURPRISE! And how embarrassing that I didn't reciprocate! :( I love this "stitching wallet!"

And here is the lining..fa la la!

I know I talk about my "local" girls, but I have another beautiful granddaughter in Texas..she is our little firecracker..just like her mom! Anyhow, we have ornaments that remind us of each of our little ones, though some are no longer little, and this one is from my littlest..she is indeed a cupcake, and this is so her, from her. :)

This next one is from my Sophie, when she was a "little" girl.

Lest I forget my one and only son..yes, I have an ornament that represents him, too..and he insists that we hang it at the tippy top of the tree..I'm sure if he had a choice, he would have a Darth Vader head for the tree topper.

Thank you for your sweet comments on yesterday's post and for stopping by. We are supposedly having a snowy weekend, so I am going to get the baking started..I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday month! Until next time...God Bless.
