Oh my goodness. Christmas is still a week away and I have already received some incredible presents. I don't know what I did to deserve such generosity. DSO's son and d-i-l gifted me with these beautiful wools. Laenne (d-i-l) happened to be at a craft show in Michigan where Kris Miller of Spruce Ridge Studios was vending. A girl can never have too much wool, can she? From DSO's daughter I received a Heavens to Betsy gift certificate. I guess his kids know me well! I also received a Visa gift card. Perhaps even more wool???
DSO's son and fiancee gave me the coolest wine stopper. So hard to photograph but so very cute! I just wonder how it will work on a box of wine {grin}.
Dear friend Dolly (who if you remember, adopted my Eema) had this wonderful throw made for me, all from pictures I had posted on my blog. It measures 3' x 5' and will help keep me toasty this winter. Isn't this just the most thoughtful gift?
I can't believe a week from today Christmas will be just about over. I thought I would be done with everything a week ago. I guess it wasn't meant to be. I still have much to do but I am thankful that I am not nearly as stressed as I normally am! Gifts didn't get made ~ oh, well, oh, hell :) Maybe next year . . . if I start in January!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Pug hugs :)
