Weekend Fun



We went here yesterday. We kind of stumbled upon it during our Saturday wanderings in Minneapolis with our younger son and his wife.

Beautiful displays and some great handmade products were offered by vendors. The place was packed!

If you can, keep an eye out for next year's dates for this fair. I know I will!

*****************

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! Our daughter-in-law, Diedra, made his favorite cake and we all tried to spoil him on his special weekend.

A great time was had by all.

I sincerely hope that you can reflect upon your weekend and smile.

Christmas Wall-Hanging



Visit Sew & Tell Fridays to view lots of beautiful projects! Sew & Tell Fridays is hosted by amylouwho.

Also, SewCalGal is hosting a Virtual Christmas Quilt Show. Be sure to visit and look at all the lovely entries!



This can now be revealed. I mailed it out early so that my son and daughter-in-law could enjoy it for the Christmas season. It arrived today.

For God So Loved the World . . .

They are having such fun decorating for their first Christmas, and I hope this wall-hanging brings coziness to their home.

Busy-ness


Well, I've been busy. As I am sure many of you have been, as well.

We have December birthdays on hubby's side of our family, so that adds to the December fun -- and flurry -- of activity!

I made the cutest b-day gift for someone special. You'll see it after the party is past and the recipient is enjoying their gift.

*******************************

Apparently I like table runners/scarves with scenes on them. This first one was my paternal grandmother's. I actually have two matching ones.



Any ideas on whether there is any symbolism behind these pictures? Or is it purely decorative?My hunch is that it is a German design, but I don't know for sure.

Hmmm, I think that's cat hair up on the top. No surprise there.

*******************************

I love this next one. I bought it at the Norway area at Epcot in Walt Disney World in Florida. That was a few years ago, can't remember how long exactly, but when we went back they no longer carried them. I had hoped to find some for gifts.

I hope you are enjoying your decorating. It's always fun to get out all your favorites and admire them year after year!
