Great colours

My friend Marg finished quilting this quilt. It's for the Silent Children's Mission.

I love the colours. We will be making more simple quilts since we have so much fabric to use up. 

Green and white might be the next colour scheme.

Things

Oh look. I finally finished the other pair of leg warmers for the twins.

Here they both are together. I really do like variegated yarns.

Answer:

Apparently, this is a chair. Meant to be used by the little girls. The part in the middle with the lid is supposed to be for their toys.

Our son gave it to us and this is what he said. It has yet to be tried out but we'll see how good it works during the Christmas holidays. All the little ones will be here then.

I hope you're having a safe and enjoyable weekend.

What?

 My husband came home with this. 

It’s got legs and is an interesting shape.

It even has an indent or bowl in the middle with a lid.

The lid is reversible. Why?

I do not know.

I’ll tell you tomorrow if you can’t figure it out.

Greetings

This year, I wondered what I would put on my front door. I figured I had a wreath - somewhere. While I was waiting for December 1st to arrive, I came upon this little hanging.

It’s called Emma’s Tree. The pattern came from one of the Yahoo groups I belong to. One of the members, Miriam, lost her daughter (a mother of two little girls) to cancer. As a way to get through her grief, she came up with this pattern. She has given it away for free providing people attach a little note as to it’s reason for being. I have made several for family and friends in various colours. This one was made for my mom who loved the colour red.

Snow?

We are short on snow. It is December and all we had so far was a little dusting. 

However, Bob the Snowman is hanging by the front door just waiting to greet whoever walks in. I

didn’t want to hang him up until we had our first snow. Even though it didn’t last, Bob was ready.
