*Moving posts from old blog* Molly's new dog coat

Yesterday I spent a few hours and finally got Molly's dog coat made. The pattern was real easy to understand and it seemed to go pretty well.

Here is what the inside looks like~




This is the outside~





And here she is modeling it for you~












I also forgot the other day to put up the pictures of the table with the placemats that Veronica sent me. They look so nice on the table~
















Today I went and met with my very good friend. We had lunch and just talked and talked, it was so nice. I wish she was staying here longer so we could have more time to just catch up. She brought pictures of her grandchildren and she just knows how much I love to see pictures. I had my camera with me but then forgot to get a picture of us two together...oh well maybe next year.

Tonight Roger, Molly and I went to look at Christmas tree lights, there are a couple of streets in the town just south of us that always decorate a lot and it was just gorgeous...It was nice just spending time with my beloved...I still have a few more gifts to get but don't know yet what I want to get for sure, so probably won't actually shop until sometime this coming week.

Have a very blessed Sunday

Blessings,Joann

*Moving posts from old blog* Christmas swap partner

Veronica is my Christmas swap partner, she is such a sweet lady and has a wonderful blog http://ratherbequilting-veronica.blogspot.com .
I wanted to come here and post pictures of all the beautiful things my new friend sent to me. She does some lovely work, everything~and there are lots of things~ is just so pretty.

Here is a picture of a snowman hot chocolate holder and some snowman salt and pepper shakers~




Here is a picture of a tea holder ~ The outside~




The inside~




These placemats look just gorgeous in real life the photo does not do them justice~




She also sent along these wonderful pot holders that match the placemats~




Isn't this pincushion just the most pretty pincushion you have ever seen, I love it! ~




She also was nice enough to send a few quilting things, I didn't have any of these things so that was just wonderful~





I have saved the best for last, she made this adorable little Christmas purse, it is so pretty and I really do love it a lot~





Here is the same purse with the card she included with all of the gifts, she is some special lady~




Here is a picture of everything she sent all together~




I want to send my warmest thanks to Veronica and also to Janet at Wildcraftfarm for hosting the swap. Veronica in case you are reading this, you will be receiving something in the mail soon.

This special person Veronica did such wonderful work on all of the items, the colors are great, the workmanship is wonderful...I will treasure these things always.

Blessings,Joann
