'Tis Finished!

I'm as shocked as anyone else that it's actually done!  My husband was impressed when he opened the box on his birthday, .... that makes it worthwhile.  Afterall, it only took two measly little winters to complete.  So now, the Christmas stocking tradition can be fully carried on in the Rohloff household.  Whew!  Word to the wise: unless you love the challenge and like to make you eyes go crossies on a regular basis, don't bother with the counter cross-stitch patterns.  Try needlepoint.

What a Difference a Day Makes!

Well, actually, in this case it's more like, a week.  I'd taken a picture of a neat, fall sky last week.  Today, it's suddenly a wintery picture!  I'm excited to see the snow, being reminiscent of good old Charlie Brown.  Sing with me, "Christmas time is here, . . . "  Anyway . . 

And there you have it!  Time to start up the fireplace,

 find my slippers, and warm up some more cider!
