Here are some of the lovely little planters Dad made me recently. The Rosemary has a pretty new home waiting for it too when I have some time and some potting soil.
The holiday excitement and anticipation is already heavy in the air. Peggy is one of the stops on the Marshall Historical Society Christmas walk this year so she started decorating early. Evangeline has just been beside herself with excitement. This is a picture Peggy sent me one day last week after they spent the day putting up the tree. She has been asking when our tree is going up ever since.
Kyle called me last week on his way to Terre Haute to tell me that I must take a drive out to see the moon over Archer Ave. Now, for Kyle to call me to make a special trip out to see the moon only could have meant that this was really something special. By the time we made it out of the house, about 5 minutes after he called, this is what it looked like. When I showed the picture to Kyle he said that it didn't even compare to the moon at the time he called me. He said that he had never seen anything like it. Bummer, wish I could have seen it.
Kyle's been hawking Christmas wreaths for the Rotary club. We had 18 of these beauties in our garage last week waiting to be delivered. It was a nice smell to walk out to my car to.
And here is Alphie 2.0. I got the pattern for Christmas last year and made him shortly after. I wasn't too happy with the construction. I cut out all the pieces and did the embroidering for 2.0 last spring or summer so all I had to do was force myself finish the little guy. Turning all of his little pieces right-side out was not an enjoyable task, but he is so much better made. He will last, so I'm glad I redid him.
Evangeline really enjoyed the first Alphie. She was excited about the new one, but has already requested a girl elf.....Arggggg....now I need to figure out how to make an Alphie with pigtails.
I am very much looking forward to the upcoming Turkey Day festivities. I do so love this time of year.
