Ornaments

 

Still sewing Christmas

Ornaments!

006blog

I think I’m going for a

rustic cabin,

winterish feel with our main

Christmas tree this year.

Wendy, on facebook, once

again,

came to my rescue when I had

an

ornament making creative

block.

Now… I’m off to make some

canoes

and more snowmen…

maybe even a

twig cabin or two.

This is going to be the year

for a

homemade,

handmade

Christmas!

 Do you have a Christmas tree theme?

Weekend Getaway and Soup!

The hubs and I managed to getaway this past weekend to Gatlinburg, TN.

Such a fun place to visit.

(It’s funny… seems that every time he wears his LSU t-shirt,

I wear a Tennessee one… we never plan it this way!)

Anywho…

I really thought the color would already be gone from the trees here…

but I was pleasantly surprised and mistaken!

Here is a picture from a scenic lookout that overlooks Gatlinburg.

Our hotel was the cylinder one in the distance.

So as we get back to our usual… it’s cold and rainy here…

perfect weather for making vegetable beef soup!

Where do you like to go for a quick getaway?

What is your favorite thing to eat on a rainy, cold day?

My “Musical” Christmas Wreath

 
Hey Y’all!
Well… Christmas decorating is coming right along!
So glad I’m getting an early start…
feels good!
Just wanted to share with you not only one of
my favorite hymns
but
how I’m incorporating it this year with the wreath
over the fireplace.
This hymn is very special to me and I cherish the
memory of singing it in church as a little girl.
I still love to sing the old hymns… and I get all giddy when
we sing one in church.
 
They are truly generational.
 
 

Just As I am

Text: Charlotte Elliott, 1789-1871
Music: William B. Bradbury, 1816-1868
Tune: WOODWORTH, Meter: LM

Just as I am! without one plea,

But that Thy blood was shed for me,

016

And Thou bid’st me come to Thee,
