The postman brought another package yesterday. I was expecting a swap gift from Barb in Crivitz, WI as part of our Ravelry - Grandma's Hand group swap, but this was a real surprise. I never, in a million years expected anything other than handcrafted ornaments. When I opened the box, I found this lovely, crazy-quilted pillow.It's hand stitched with a vintage glove and hankie as embellishment. There are also lovely laces and crocheted pieces, along with buttons. It is really beautiful work and I'm tickled with Barb's effort. It will be front and center in our holiday decorating this year. Thank you so much, Barb!
Last night was the first of Handsome's Christmas concert performances. The North Port Chorale, the "Soundsations" singers, and the local bell choir - "Joyful Ringers" - provided the holiday music. Everyone left humming and talking about the concert.We may not have snow here in south Florida, but there certainly was no shortage of holiday spirit Saturday evening.
oh ah! lovely gift. Crazy quilt is my favorite one...I wish I loved closer so I could hear handsome play....have a good weekend.
