has asked
do you like red and green? does it lift your spirits? what shades do you
like best?
Yes, red and green at Christmas is lovely!  All the shades!  My tree is always a hodgepodge of colours.  I love it that way.  Of course, I enjoy the fully coordinated trees you see in the stores, but that is not going to happen at my house.  I enjoy the old ornaments and remembering who gave them or made them for me.  They are special.  Our tree is a bit smaller than usual this year.  We didn't have room to put all of the ornaments.  Oh well, there is always next year!

I like that I got to see my granddaughter sing at her school Christmas concert yesterday.  So cute!  I liked seeing all the parents and grandparents excited to see their child perform.  So sweet.

I like that all the final details of the bathroom renovation have been finished!  Now, it needs a piece of art.  I have an idea for a painting, and I'm eager to get started on it.  I might need to concentrate on other things first.  We don't do a lot of presents, but the ones we do give need to be wrapped.  That seems more pressing than doing the painting.

I like that it is supposed to rain today.  We already have a lot of snow and I will be glad to see some of it washed away!

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

Image
 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
