I did not stay up to see the new year in. I went to bed early and figured from past experience, that the new year would arrive with or without my seeing the ball drop. When I got up this morning, like I thought, it had come as it had in the 72 previous years of my life, although it was very cold. I am done with the cold...oh wait, I have no say in the matter. Christmas was quiet here and snowy! My purchase earlier of the turned dowel and the help of the Mr. turned out to be a sweet porch angel. I will be able to change the head gear and the items in her hands for the seasons. We did have friends for Christmas Day and my sweet neighbors exchanged goodies which are nearly gone, (thank goodness). Below are gifts from my wonderful neighbor from across the street. The beautiful Chrystal ball came last year and this fall, she followed with the metal hanger. It is beautiful and may stay up all year. And this year....
This lovely glass tree with the glass balls were from her. It is not very tall....perhaps 9 inches, but it is so very pretty and she is a treasure for sure. Thank you Mary. I have been quilting with a group at our library and when I told them that I had a blog, although some knew it, they asked what I blogged about. I realize that I haven't been real consistent with it, but told them that I would blog about them. Not wanting to publish pictures of them for privacy issues, I will be taking pictures of their projects and progresses so this is just the beginning of my promise to them.
