Winter Solstice ~

 

 

Winter officially begins today.  The good part, starting tomorrow we will have more minutes of daylight each day.  Hopefully the prediction of a mild winter will hold true in northern Ohio.  I really won't feel bad if we don't get much snow :)

 

I finished my Facebook challenge rug today and I'm doing a little happy dance.  I bound it in the wool I used for the horse (cut in an 8).  It's the first time I've bound a rug with wool strips and I'm happy with the way it turned out and it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.  I'll share the finish as soon as it gets a final steaming.

Here are a few more pictures from around the house. 

The big tree taken without a flash.

 

My only vintage feather tree.  The bead garlands, along with some of the ornaments, are also vintage. 

 

I always struggle over what to use on the dining room table.  It's been a year or two since I used the sled.

 

Another cheesy plastic Santa.  I think I have 5 of them around the house.

 

I will leave you with this picture of our sweet Loocie.  DSO sent this to me at work and it just made me smile.  I don't know how she can possibly be comfortable, but she sleeps like this often.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)
