I received a painting from one of our Spanish interpreters for the court where I work. Mike carries a pad of paper with him so he can draw if he has to wait a while. I asked him for a picture, but I told him I didn't want any weird picture. You will know what I mean if you check out his site on
artbreak . He and his wife go to Spain every year and this is a picture of some scenery over there. I love it!
Below is a gift from my #1
DIL's father - a nice box of tea bags. After we use up the tea, the box will come in handy! I made some tea this morning in my new mug with a quilting picture on it (from my sister). Another gift (1000 piece puzzle) is in the background.
May Britt in Norway has this free pattern on her blog. I loved it and decided to make 6 of them for Christmas of 2009. They are finished! This will be my first finish for 2009. See the "One Project a Month Challenge" picture on the right side of my blog. I don't think that will be too hard to do. I guess it depends on how big the project is.
Here's a closer up picture. BTW, I have NOT taken my Christmas decorations down yet! No offense, but I don't understand people who take
their's down the day after Christmas. I will probably get around to it next weekend. Tee
Hee Hee!
These pennie pockets are my second finish for the month. I know they are both small things, but a finish is a finish! This pattern is available at
thehappyzombie.com . I've made 12 of these and will use them next Christmas also!
Good luck on your projects for 2009!

Maybritts Christmas heart is a much-loved design and yours are delightful. I like the pennie pockets too! What a great start on projects for the Challenge.

Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. All I can say is WOW! You sure have been busy. I love the hearts and hope I get at least a couple done for next Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAll so sweet! The box could continue to hold tea, but because you are an artist...

Love all your marvelous Christmas projects! And that gift of the painting is just wonderful! What a treasure!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words on my blog. I do pray that 2009 will be a better year for us. I will keep your son and daughter in law in my prayers too! How hard to be in that situation with a new baby! I pray God will find a good situation for them soon!
All my best!
