merry christmas

The stocking I've had my whole life.
My first nutcracker. A treasured gift from my mom when I was five.

Gift Making

Making little owl ornaments from scraps of felt.

Rosettes-- another reason never to throw away a scrap of paper.

Making up some assembly line gifts for my friends.

Christmas pencils make lovely stocking stuffers.

Black Swan

Couldn't wait. Went on opening day. On my way, picked up a new Swan Queen ornament from the Christkindlmarket.
