It was a wonderful year for us.
I will love looking back to remember this year.
I am excited at looking forward to new adventures.
I love that we are healthy and happy.
I love that we can enjoy each day as it comes.
I love that there will be many happy days ahead!

Claire is 3 today.
A trip to the aquarium is planned,
baking and decorating a pink cake,
as well as just having fun like
all little three years old should
have.
Seeing her on Face Time
gives us the opportunity to share in her
special day.
It seems that my
coffee always gets cold when I
am planning new things to make or do.
Lots of new projects on the go to take me into the New Year.
Alexnader in Australia,
Claire in Vancouver.
Christmas to us is all about seeing how much
fun the grand children had at
Christmas time.
As you can see, they had a wonderful
time.
I received this
"Walk in the Woods"
felt kit for Christmas.
A perfect kit to take along and quietly sew.
Perhaps a new ornament for Claire's next Christmas.
This kit is another great kit from Alicia Paulson of "Posy gets cozy" , the same one where I bought the bunny rabbit pattern from.

Merry Christmas to you all.
We are off on our little Christmas adventure,
lunch and a hike.
It is going to be a sun shiny day here in AZ.
I hope you will have a special day.
I was so pleased
when the red candles fit so perfectly into
my favourite white milk glass vases.
The wide bases keep the tall candles
from tipping over.
Paired with white carnations,
they make a simple
Christmas decoration.
Simple, Elegant, Easy = Perfect!
How sweet it is,

Fire King Opal White Bread Pan.
Ornaments from Pottery Barn.
Our sweet little snow angel having fun in the
Vancouver snow.
It is raining,
it's overcast and I am feeling somewhat the same.
However, I know I will feel better soon.
A cold does not last forever.
Love this wall paper of Snow Globes
from
"Gathered" by Mollie Makes.
It makes me feel better just looking at them.
I bought this ball of sugar cane yarn
last spring when our knitting
group went to
Prescott, AZ.
Finally, after a few of my own design
elements were added to this
very simple pattern, I have finished it.
I must say that I will be very happy wearing
it to keep me warm.
I have always loved chalkboards.
Jim built me a wonderful chalkboard in my craft room back in BC.
These first 2 photos made up on my Ipad,
the rest from Pintrest,
where there are many many free printables.
The Antropologie's fox is on the right.
My thinking was that I could make a fox....
However, no orange felt was found in the house..
Making do with what I have in the house
is the most fun I can have..
So here is my handmade version of
Mr. Fox.
A gray felted sweater, a red Christmas tie as well as white winter pants
makes this little fox a new treasured keepsake.
Thank you my dear Christa for helping me out with Foxy's tie!
On our way home from dinner,
I stopped in to JoAnn's.
Some orange felt came home with me for the
next version of
Mr. Fox!
A visit to the
Anthropologie store is a visual delight!
Here are a few of the marvellous things I saw!
