The countdown is on...

And everyone appears to be caught up in what was once known as the "hustle and bustle" of the season. Today it seems as though many are in a hurry and so tired and out of sorts they can't possibly take time to think what the season even means to them. When did that happen? Why are we all in a mad rush to find the "perfect gift"?


Not me...not today...time spent driving around our City remembering different buildings and places with a little comfort food on the side was perfect!






What do you think...wouldn't time enjoying our days be the perfect gift?

You're so right...I find myself caught up in trying to get everything done instead of just slowing down and enjoying the reason for the season. Thanks for the reminder....
Love the pictures, esp. the bridge and the yummy dessert...what is that?! I need some of it, lol!

Andrea, the dessert is bread pudding. The bridge on the left is an old one they are tearing down which is sad because I have fond memories of going to town from the farm over that bridge!! At least the new one is interesting.

Lee, that extra spoon could certainly be for you if you're ever in this part of the country...lol

I just happened upon your lovely blog, Joy! And so happy that I did, it is wonderful!

And yes, I do think that enjoying our days is the most wonderful perfect gift one can attain! We need to cherish each and every one and never take these days for granted!

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?

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.
