Merry Christmas

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

 

words

A snowflake fell into my hands,

a tiny, fragile gem,

a frosty crystal flowerlet

with petals, but no stem.

I wondered at the beauty

of its intricate design,

I breathed, the snowflake vanished,

but for moments, it was mine.

Embroidery

 We've been living in snow globe lately, big fluffy snow falling down slowly - ALL day.

 It's been perfect weather to bring out the watercolors and embroidery thread, sipping on tea and listening to Elvis singing Christmas songs :)

Hope you had a wonderful week as well

what to do with all this snow?

A snowman is love 
      and laughter all rolled up into one.
                              anonymous

 THE SNOW had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.

Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
-James Russell Lowell
The First Snow-Fall

 

Music Monday

Mondays deserve a soundtrack of upbeat music following you around, don't you think? 

If I could choose how to spend my Monday, I would copy this video with some friends. I'm sure their would be lots of laughter chasing away the Monday Blues ;)

Look what I found coming downstairs. It has been -35 C today, so cuddling on the couch watching Iron man seemed the perfect thing to do :)

Sunshine

 An attitude of gratitude...

          the little old ladies in Al -Anon advised me with a smile ... so today I am grateful for that beautiful sun shining through my collection of colored vintage glass.

                                   The house smelling like pine trees

                                                               And a fresh new day where anything can happen :)
