Chestnuts for Christmas!....

It is a chilly morning but oh so beautiful.  I have been awake since 1:30 AM not able to fall back to sleep so I tatted and finally got the snowflake finished...now to start the next one. But first, I need coffee, toast and a fresh orange to start my day. 

On Monday I found out that the Stitching Retreat that I was going to attend in January down in Tucson has been cancelled. So disappointed. Seems they said they wanted one close to home here in Arizona then they did not commit. I may find something else to do and go to in January or maybe February.

Yesterday I worked on my Shutterfly book...long way to go but all the pictures I want are in just need to finish up the pages with comments. Very time consuming but I am sure I will love it when I have it in hand. I also decided to make a special wine bottle

The bottle was a favorite of Denny's....from the Frances Ford Coppola winery. Just battery lights in the bottle with the cork to hold them in place and a cluster of grapes. Looks nice without so much light except it would not photograph well because it is a green bottle.
........and look what I found in the market....

I did not get to have them for Thanksgiving but I will have them for Christmas. They were $6.99 a pound.....so surprised to find them in the market. Now I will hope that they are good.
I really must get that coffee ground and brewing and the toast in the toaster......so off I go. Thank you for coming by and for your kind words and most of all your friendship.
