Are you ready for Christmas girls?






















I am just about there. It is 5:16 AM Christmas Eve day and I hope to make cookies this morning. Despite the fact that we have had our electric off twice






we are back on track and the house is decorated and ready for the big day. My son and his family arrive at noon and my daughter will be here on December 25th. Both days we will celebrate with a big family supper.












I also snapped these photos during the ice storm. You might enjoy them. They are my first attempt at photographic art and the images are available on Etsy for sale.






I also snapped some photos of Casey's latest project which is just about finished except for a few more green glass knobs. This is just amazing and to think he is 80 and still accomplishing so much. I just don't know how he does it?






Thank you for your continue interest and support in all that I do.






I WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!

TOM CAT IS HAVING A CAT NAP!!











Here is my beloved TOM CAT having a very nice cat nap on the new bench I just finished. He can barely keep his eyes open. Tom came to us as a kitten on a snowy very cold January morn. My husband called to me to hurry outside and there Tom was hiding in the bushes. Very cold ....I ran in and got him some food and milk and every mouth full he took he made a terrible cry of hunger. I will never forget and I doubt if Tom will. I immediately scooped him up and took him inside and promised him he would never go hungry again. He was very tiny and I used to tell my husband and his son...OOOH JUST LOOK AT THIS BIG TOM CAT...and they would laugh and say I was out of my mind and that Tom would never be very big...well as you can see I was right...he is one BIG TOM CAT...I can barely lift him any more. My grandchildren are wild about him and he is the most loving cat and so kind to the children. Send me one of your cat or dog stories. I would love hearing it. Please leave it in my comments so I know you stopped by.

ooooH Girls....I could not wait to show you these stockings














































ooooH MY GOSH!!!I am having so much fun creating for you. I love to decorate and to be allowed to decorate for others in my idea of a dream occupation. This absolutely adorable stocking was made from a vintage Florida tablecloth and the reverse is a red and white antique hand pieced and stitched quilt. The tip of the toe has a jingle bell and there is a matching loop for display made from the tablecloth. Imagine this stocking in your home in Florida or if you were born in Florida display it proudly. Think about giving these to a friend in Florida filled with sweet gifts and sweets and what a remarkable gift these stockings would make. This stocking is 25 inches long from the top of the cuff to the tip of the toe. It is lined and has great body. It looks and feels luxurious. I have just two stockings like this listed in my Ebay auction...seller SUMMERSDARLING....they are both made from the VINTAGE FLORIDA TABLECLOTH and ANTIQUE RED AND WHITE QUILT however they have different scenes. OOOh these are W O N D E R F U L. Contact me at my email summersdarling@hotmail.com if you are interested in these yummy socks!!
Thank you for viewing my blog. I love hearing from you. Please leave a comment.
