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

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....
