Am I the only one...

Who decorates for Christmas through out the whole house? Has a deer collection that is easily incorporated into the holiday? Enjoys morning coffee in a mug which was a gift from her son?

Saves old ornaments regardless of their condition?
Has a childhood "Chianti wine" ornament? Who knew?
And has a grandgirl who inspires them to decorate with a warm, happy heart?
Perhaps one should decorate right after Thanksgiving while still feeling the fullness of being thankful. Tell me, am I the only one?

Hi Joy
I began my Christmas decorating today. We have to make room for our huge Christmas tree, which we hope to get tomorrow. It is crazy. I have to move this big blanket chest to the porch, but the chest is full of Christmas stuff, so that has to be emptied first before we can lift it. The things we do around here for Christmas. This tree is our family tree. It is a hodge podge of all kinds of wonderful things. Then there are all the other trees I decorate. I hope to put pictures on my blog of those. Happy decorating Joy.
Merry Stitches,
Sandra

Oh yes, there is something peaceful about decorating the tree right after Thanksgiving before all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season gets underway.

Hi Joy,
You are not alone. I tend to decorate here and there throughout the house. I love old and new ornaments. Some were given to me by friends, and I love all the memories connected with them.

Happy decorating!

Your decorations are wonderful! Your holiday spirit comes through in your post. :) This year has been tough so I'm not feeling as joyful, except of course in the religious sense. I'm looking forward to Christmas 2011 already. ;)

Counting. . .

And counting the days, or should I say the months since I have posted.  I think of it often and do so enjoy seeing your posts.  Where does the time go? Life is becoming a new normal here and all is well.  I am, however, surprised that I even remember how to start a post.   Finely Finished  is now a full time job--not my favorite word.  Finish work is a passion for me (not a job) and I'm fortunate to have clients' that allow me to spend time in the studio and "create" using their finely stitched pieces.  And how fun to have someone say "do your magic"!   Strawberries seem to be a favorite to stitch these days.  With so many lovely designs, I can see why.  Erica Michaels' Quaker Strawberry  has passed through the studio in many color ways. Tell me. . .are you counting stitches or days?   Thank you for stopping by, looking forward to hearing from you.

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

Many...

Of you have been posting photos of your Christmas decorations, some even rethinking this year's decorating. Few changes take place here, which may seem boring, but I think of it as tradition.  Every year when I begin to decorate fond memories come to mind as I place each ornament, Santa and treasure in it's usual place. Yet simple as it may be, I did rearrange the deer tray and... The Santas came down from the mantle... Allowing one of my favorite samplers to shine without the clutter. What changes did you make this year?
