wonderful things - black and white

one.two.three.four.five.six.seven.eight.nine.ten.eleven.twelve.

new years eve

mellowish, but still sparkly, and celebratory. 

merry and bright

So this is christmas...

yummy tastes

happy faces

funny tags

not-so-serious wrapping

the giving 

the receiving

the charm, and lights, and love

the hope, the anticipation, the hot drinks

doing things in order (from youngest to oldest)

partying the mostest on christmas eve

the reunions and affections

the part where we can barely hold in the tears, because everyone's heart comes out.

the satisfaction, and being really really really full of food and pie. 

The christmas day movie: true grit

the guests, the memories, and this whole wonderful life. 

Can't wait to see what happens next year. 

teeny tiny little bits

The danke bag ingredients are simple:

canvas bag, straight pins, spare trim or ribbon, & needle&thread.

collar necklace ingredients:

headband ingredients:

for this I just took some spare fabric (a shirt collar in this case), 

tied it in the middle, 

then sewed the two ends to a ribbon on each side.
