a long winter's nap

Before I forget... I got an anonymous e-mail this week asking about the "and the friendly beasts around him stood".  It is from a booklet called Christmas Samplers by Prairie Schooler.  It is apparently out of print, but may be available on Ebay.

I don't know if you've ever been so tired that you're not sure what's real and what's a dream, but I feel like I'm  sleep walking.  Or, rather, sleep framing.

I love this time of year when the sun sits low enough to shine directly into my front window.  I look up from my painting table and see my precious girls glowing in the sun.  It's so yummy that it reminds me just how delicious spring is.  (I know! It's not even solstice yet and I'm yearning for spring!)

Speaking of delicious...Miss Kari brought little Oliver by this week - wearing the greatest pair of leggings that she made for him!  They keep him warm but make his diaper easily accessible.  What will they think of next?

Gidget is sitting next to me watching the television.  As if on cue, she starts to bark when the song "Who Let The Dogs Out?" comes on.  I swear she does it just to entertain me.

Here's what we accomplished this week.  I can't remember what I've showed you and what I haven't, so forgive me if there are duplicates.  

I've gotta go get back at it.

Happy Holidays!
