Well Darn ~

 

This is what happens when you drop Santa on his head 😭.  I was so bummed, but at least when he is sitting a little higher on a shelf you can't see the damage.

 

Several people commented that they wanted to see my purchases when I was being bad last Saturday.  I had completely forgotten to take pictures.  Here are a few of the things that came home with me.

Additions to my growing snowman collection.  A sweet little snow angel for the top of my snowman tree.

LOVE the grins.

Santas . . . like I need another Santa 😁

Cotton batting ~

Celluloid ~ with a hole in his head.

Reproduction feather tree and a couple Santas (not old).  I love the big Santa but he is a gift.

Also bought a number of new and vintage bottle brush trees that are scattered about.  And to think I wasn't planning on buying anything . . . lol!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

A Right Dapper Fella ~

Here is my snowman from Saturday's class with Marlene Troyer of Perennial Blessings.  Isn't he fun?  Marlene had sewn the nose, hat, coat and body parts.  We just had to hook the face, stuff the body and sew him all together.  It still took many hours of work.  He is just about 2' tall.

 

He even has eyelashes :)

 

 

I just love the button detail we added.

 

 

Here is the pattern and information if you are interested.

 

 

 

I was also the lucky winner of her give away.  I guess I can no longer say I never win anything.

 

 

I am still not done putting my house back together.  Not even close :(  I have made many trips to the attic (a walk-up attic is both a blessing and a curse) but have not yet started on the big tree.  My living and dining room look like a train wreck.  I need to figure out where I put my "normal" stuff so I can retrieve it and redecorate.  This has not gone nearly as smoothly as I had hoped.  Oh, well.  Oh, hell.  It will get done eventually.

 

Good news for Cindy Lou Who.  Wednesday morning she will head to Columbus, about 2 1/2 hours south, for her surgery on Thursday.  It is time this girl feels better.  A stone that size has been developing for probably years.  Poor sweet baby.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.
