I made some "paper doll" ornaments - one for Richard and one for me!
Stockings hung with care
I noticed, that quite by accident, one of my sculptures is peeking from behind my stocking!! (I took a sculpting class a couple of years ago. It was fun - but I lack the talent. These little ladies are fun though.)
(No question about who's naughty and who's nice in our house ;-)
A number of years ago, I made this quilt for the guild's challenge - Just Another Day in Paradise. I think it turned out so great. I hang it in the kitchen window for the holidays. Most of the quilts entered in the challenge were themed around living in sunny, tropical Naples. My first thought when I heard "just another day in paradise" was angels.
If I remember correctly, the three fabrics for the challenge were the dark and light pinks (foreground angel's gown) and the riotous color (middle angel's gown) as well as some charm embellishments. (The angels' hair is free motion embroidery using variegated thread.)

Hi Pat, I adore your blog, so I went visiting. I've only been blogging since Sept -- but my premise is to showcase things I make and hope to inspire others; only most blog posts don't showcase that much yet -- but I'm learning. I'm putting up my tree today. I saw your post about PSE and the picture you took in Lafayette. I am not far from Lafayette. Anyway I want to know about the stitch line you are saving for another day. Let me know when you get that post up. Merry Christmas and May His Glory Shine Upon You and Yours. Terri www.morningdewdrops.typepad.com

Everything looks pretty. I could hardly look at your tree from looking at that beautiful blue chair to the right. Love that fabric!
I really like your paper doll ornaments, really cool. Well it was 26 degrees when I went Christmas shopping today with snow flurries. I'd say winter has hit Kansas. Thanks for coming by today.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
