Cross-Stitch Revisited

If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon 

in a perfectly useless manner, 

you have learned how to live

Who took the cookie from the cookie jar

I made a batch of butter cookies in different designs

and wrapped them in boxes that I recycled from this and that

to give the children as treats during the party

Happy Birthday Dana and Tomer

I have yet to show my presents

and the treats I made them

Dear Holly Hobbie

A long dress, an apron, plenty of patches
a really big hat that always matches

dear Holly Hobbie, it is a disgrace

that we never ever see your face

Afternoon Walk in Qadima

The weather was perfect

I had my music

I could have walked all night

Wordless Wednesday

Corners of My Home

I've been doing some work on the veranda

it is ready for spring, though we've hardly had any winter

The last item in was the runner hanging from the rail
the runner was a gift and I added the pink crochet border
I'm still debating whether to add a couple of doilies in the same wool

♡

Teletubbies, anyone?

Dana made her own version of the teletubbies
she's certainly seen enough of them to know her material

Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po,
Teletubbies, say hello!
The sun is setting in the sky;
Teletubbies say good-bye.

Not One But Three

Not one but three Cath Kidston bags

warming themselves on a bench on a sunny day

Happy Birthday Mom

We had a nice weekend celebrating my mom's birthday

my contributions included the needlework greeting card

(top left-hand corner), the flowers

and the table settings that came out quite nice - 

an origami tea-bag flower with a rosemary branch on each plate
