Wanted: smart tittle !!!

Are you done with your Christmas decorations? We are still working on it. My mom gave us some some holly mixed with some pine branches. I thought it will look great if we mix them to form a branch and put it above a door. And that's what we did; acutally, Chuy put it together which means that if we were working in the fashion business : I'll get the money AND the credit as the designer and he'll get minimum wage as the worker !!!

Steb still had temperature last night so he stayed home to rest and make sure he was really better but the day can be very long without any sibblings to play with so he wandered close to a very tempting place: oh! oh ! Someone is going to get in trouble !!!

But today was also the day to send a letter to a very special person who better get it before december 24 th !!!

Did I stitch last night? Yes I did !!! But not as much as I wanted to and I got an unpleasant visit from the frogs ... I'm working on the upper left side because I want to stitch the bird to feel I'm stitching something. In this design, it's going to take time before we can actually see something that look that a wreath.

Oh Christmas tree !!!!!!!!!!

We went to get our tree at the market on saturday. But it was sooo cold (in the low thirties ) that we didn't stay very long ... We wanted to get a tree with some roots but there were few choices ( like 3 or 4 to choose). We did manage to find one that we liked and we left quickly. Chuy did not spank any old ladies with the tree like he did last year !!! Good job honey !!!

Steb was so excited to see the tree! He has been asking every day for more than a week now. Chuy planted the tree in a pot with some soil and then it was time to free the tree. Steb helped his dad and

tadaaaaa:

Ready to decorate by three excited kids !!!

Et voilà:

Light off please!

Chuy worked on his nativity like he does every year. I'm hoping to get a better picture tomorrow. He always do a great job (takes lots of room though !!! )

if you don't find a tree, don't hesitate to take one of your kids: some garlands and you are set for Christmas !!!

Let's talk about stitching now. You may wonder what I'm stitching next, right?

Well, first, I finished the left over stitching on my Pansy!!! I am now left with the beading that as the chicken that I am, I have left to the end ...

And now, my new piece:

I chose that one but as soon as I started it, I was not so sure anymore ... I felt exactly the same after I chose the squirrel ... But there is no turning back: I'll stick with that one now ... But it is a bery beautiful wreath so I hope I'll ne happy at the end !!!

Here is my first progress.

Are you done with your Christmas shopping yet? I still need to order a Cd for Chuy on Amazon: is it too late to order for Christmas??? Hope not ...
