The End of 2011

I am still a newbie at adding
pictures and composing my blog but I added the last two Christmas projects I did for my grandson and my DIL. R.J. 's ornament is from Prairie Schooler #36 and because he took a trip on a Tall ship, Lynx, I thought it would be appropriate for him. The Xmas stocking is for Riley, my "grand" dog and it too was well received by my DIL who loves him to pieces.
It is New Year's Eve Day and quite hard to believe that 2011 is drawing to a close. The year has had its ups and
downs but for the most part we have enjoyed family,
friends and remain in good health for the year. May
2012 bring good health, happiness and peace to all!

Til next year, Barbara

Post Christmas

Well, Christmas 2011 was a hugh success! I was able to finish all my ornaments for my "grands" as I have for the past 16 years and this year I have loved everyone of them. The one on the left was for Madison, the middle for Caroline who loves to go shopping, and the third was Mackenzie's who traveled to England, France and Spain this past February. I also stitched an ornament for my grandson, R.J. who was able to have a short sail on a tall-ship called the Lynx. And finally, I stitched a Christmas stocking for Riley, my son and daughter-in-law's sweet little dog. They were delighted and surprise to say the least. I will add the missing photos on the next post hopefully. A couple birthdays coming up in the next few days and then it's time to dismantle all the Christmas decorations until next year.....whew!

Now we can look forward to the near year and hope everyone
has a happy, healthy 2012!
Til we meet again, Barbara
