~ SLEIGH RIDES ~

Hi there Christmas Friends!  Thank you kindly for your sweet comments on my last post, had several requests for the Pineapple Pie recipe, anyone try it yet?

Did some doodling around with charting software and came up with this simple design on silk, the bells even jingle:)

Has anyone else maybe admired the ditty bags that seem to be so popular this year?  Liked this appliqued wool bag, so I tried my hand at decorating one for hangin by the fire.  What do you think?

Our simple tree...

Some turkey-lurkey friends came to pay us an early Christmas visit, scratchin and peckin for seeds to get them through the brutal weather here in New York, they're so quiet and always shock me when I see movement out the kitchen window:)

And lastly, being as thrifty as possible, I scarfed scads of wreaths from Michaels last February for ten cents each and many of them whoops! hung themselves on the very looooooong pasture fence, whew!  If I could only train those pesky zip-ties to be self-zipping:)

Your *Followship*, sweet comments, constant encouragement and warm kinship over the least year has been a tremendous honor.  I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and all the very best in 2011.

Let's all look forward to seeing what lovelies we come up with next year, shall we?  

Tootles, Sue
