Mice in the house!

 Goodness! Christmas is nearly here. I am think I am ready. Let's just say if it isn't done by now....I bought a Gingerbread house kit for Lisa. She told me she never made one so now she will.

I am so enjoying getting back to my sewing/craft table. A wonderful New Year gift to me! My hand has still has a bit more healing and the finger...that finger is still not straight. At least it no longer looks like I am signally!!! Typing with 2 hands and all fingers can be a challenge as it misses the letters making for strange spelling. As long as I can use my hand and fingers, that will do for me. 

The mice in the house! I have had such fun making these felt ornaments this year. Most likely because they are all hand stitched. The mice join the other visiting critters....the cardinals and the gnomes and the owls. They are looking for a new home for the New Year.

 Not my usual beaded or cross stitched  ornaments, but nonetheless they are hand made. Robin did you see one that you like? Which will you choose! Robin is my Across the courtyard friend.

Arizona is finally in Winter mode. Bright sunshine, cooler temps and so nice to be outside. Yesterday Alan shampooed the living room carpet and all the doors were open....refreshing. Today will be a market day. I know, but it is not for house food instead for Christmas Eve and day. Unfortunately it will be going to 2 different places. It is what it is. So, guess time for getting a move on and start the day. Glad you had time to visit. Thank you for your kind words and for you friendship.

Let us all keep those in need of a prayer and good thoughts in our hearts.  I am thinking of you Aunt Rose Marie and Uncle Tony...
