I needlepointed quite a lot of the ornaments...this one in 1983, the year Maggie was born...my little redhead
Our first puppy Chloe...I made this in 1982. Yep, she was our first "baby"
Maggie wanted to play violin...for about 5 minutes.
Trips to St. Louis and Chicago inspired these...
Memories of summertime in Michigan...
Madeline's days at Stevens School of Dance inspired this
Crawfish and Dixie beer....times spent in New Orleans with my best friend...
Memories of times in Florida with my parents
Summers in Michigan again....
In 2002 the children designed their own ornaments and Maggie and I needlepointed them.....
And then, my love affair with hearts....
This very special heart is from one of Addie and Laura's tea party's.
My friend Adah gives me heart ornaments...so I think of her often as I admire them!
And my dear friend Nancy gives me wooden ornaments each year, all hand painted by an artist in Michigan
The Ludington lighthouse
Stockings I made in 1983, 1986 and 1989
Memories from my time in Texas, a hand painted creche
The dining room in progress.....
Papa Joe hard at work on the outside....
Then I went to my Mom and Dad's..... Millie helped me...
Chandelier ornament I gave Mom years ago...love the ferris wheel. Did you know that 99% of all portable ferris wheels are made right here in Jacksonville?
Madeline has always loved these trees.....
I made mom and dad this doorstop over fifteen years ago...
Mom made these stockings for my sister's families...I did the lettering on them
A day spent reminiscing....and cherishing each memory and each moment spent together. So get you jolly on folks!!!!
