The night before , the night before

   The year is coming to an end and for many of us we look forward to a new year ....a new start. I have been busy at my sewing table...

The are two Prosperity Hen strings hanging in my house, one at the front door and the other at my bedroom slider. They were fun to make.

Although we do not get snow  here in The Valley (Arizona), I do like the look of snow and love snowflakes. These are made with wax paper!

Since I can not run away with the circus, I will bring it to me. Ann Wood is designing a few circus animals and I plan on making them all....this is the first, the elephant and soon to come will be a monkey and a cat.

This is my new Journal that I made to record thoughts and ideas and whatever happens. I will begin on January. I love making Latkans and so bedsides dangling beads there is one that will be a book mark. This will hopefully eliminate my writing notes on scrap paper.

A rocking horse ornament.

Two reindeer made from flannel with skinny twine legs and beads for feet. Thank you Debbie for designing the pattern.

Alejandro just moved in. I just love him....had to have him.

My d-i-l  Andrea and my grandchildren, Devin, Julian and Rosie and their new puppy Millie. They visited the Lobster Pot Christmas Tree in Stonington Ct.

A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Murphy ....

Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship.
