winter ...

This one says winter to me - reminds me of a ski chalet -

 it's a freebie from Maryse ...

 Speaking of winter ... it snowed all day today and there is more in the forecast for the weekend - no worry about whether or not there will be a white Christmas.  In my lifetime I have only experienced one Christmas without snow -  it was a balmy 20C and I enjoyed it. 

 

 it's not what you look at that matters,

it's what you see 

too cute ...

This is just too cute - it's a freebie from Danybrod .....

this one is from Durene Jones (also a freebie) - there is one for each season ...

I forgot to share these poppies ...

 this is a card for a neighbour ...

 and this one is in honour of  Esther the Wonder Pig- I follow her on Facebook - her story is a heartwarming one - she always makes me smile - I love her to bits ^^ ...

only an open heart can catch a dream

finished these ...

I stitched these ages ago - they've been a work in progress (WIP) since I had to decide on the end use.  This is what I came up with - mini quilt or candle mat - I like versatility.  ^^  The top one is a design I found online with no credit to the designer.  The other is a Theodora Cleave design that I stitched in variegated red (DMC) - I really like her designs and have stitched quite a few of them. (The fabric is aged although it looks wrinkled in the photos.)

listen and silent are spelled with the same letters

made some ...

I made some Boursin - it's delicious and a favourite of my fella's ...

1 part butter

2 parts cream cheese

add flavour(s) of choice -

mine is usually garlic, chives,

cracked black pepper

and dried cranberries -

whiz together in food processor

how you treat people tells all

this and that ...

Since Thanksgiving (in Canada) and Remembrance Day have come and gone and with plenty of snow on the ground I finished this fella just in time.   He's a luminary and can be found here.   The Frankenstein I made for Halloween is from the same website.  

Yes, there is plenty of snow on the ground - winter came very early this year.  On the bright side it has put me in the seasonal mood and last evening I watched my first Hallmark Christmas movie of the season although I was disappointed there wasn't Christmas music in it.  

it's time .....

it's time for this ...

we  will remember

 

and to put this away ...

 

 we've had this a few times already but thus far it keeps disappearing

 although there's more on the way ...

anyone who wanders

finds new paths
