Making the November Ornament

It's Funny Friday

by Prudence

Peace and quiet on the home front.....

Well, almost until Vlad decided to act weird and took two pieces of our red fabric from our The Ornament Girl November kit, and called himself "vuldeer", now I ask you - is that weird or what?

Then, all of a sudden.....

I'm not sure if it happened because Vlad put on the Santa hat or it was just time for disaster to strike.

Heaps of Hugs

Here is the sweet little woolen tree that I made, the pattern/kit is offered by

1894 CottonwoodHouse
It is adorned with rusty jingle bells which I attached with coffee stained string.

Back where I left off....

Man, nobody could get their act together, and Mom was crazy nuts putting us in time out.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could put her in time...............oops, never mind.

WAIT A MINUTE!  February 29? February has 29 days this year?  Leap Year - I almost forgot - can't a girl ask a boy to marry her on 2/29?

"Sweetheart, I think you have that confused with Sadie Hawkins Day"

Rats!

Here is our January ornament

Big, fat LuLu took the ornie for herself and won't give it back.

And, I know that Vlad told you about Mom's new closet in our craft room, well, Dad did such a nice job, he is always thinking how he can make things nicer for Mom. They decided that since the new door and frame work has to be painted that they will just go ahead and paint the room - it needed to be done and now is the perfect time.  Mom bought pretty new curtains for the window, green and white check 'cause she knew that when they painted she wanted her favorite, bee-u-tee-ful color (Benjamin Moore) Lighthouse.  It's a very pale, calming yellow.  So that's what we are doing now.  Because the room is so large and Mom has her sewing machine in a cabinet and her serger on that table, plus work table, desk and computer, all that stuff, we will paint the room in thirds.  It'll take time but I think it will be easier in the long run.  And, Mom won't be shut out for even an hour.

So, here are some pictures

Wow, Mom can't believe the area that was sealed off....it's about 20' to the left and maybe 8' to the right and about 10' deep.
  

See you next week, I'm working on a Valentine surprise.

Greetings.

Okay, last time I told you snowmen were the #1 priority this year - and yes, I speak the truth.  But...also on the "to-do" list is membership in Ornament Girls by Staci Ann Lowry,

November Ornament

December Ornament

(January kit is in the mail)

 and Mystery Stitch Along by Rebehak L. Smith.  Two clubs that have a monthly project, we already made our November and December ornament, and the Mystery Stitch Along has just begun with our first mystery applique piece coming in February.

Other than that, we are doing 12 Days of Christmas gift exchange again this year with Miss Carol over at Buttermilk Creek Farm.  Can't tell you more, Miss Carol may be peeking in the window.

Vlad goofed on New Year's Eve, he took a nice long drink of Mom's ginger ale, yeah, you guessed - it was champagne.

"Mom, it's so bright in here..."
  Have you ever seen a tipsy vulture?  Tis something you would never forget.  You see, they fart - I mean FART - like knock you off your feet, give them alcohol - yikes!  Oops, not allowed to use the "f" word.

"Prudence, the way you are giggling up there I am assuming you are using that  word, and I am not pleased with you right now."

Oh boy, I'm outta here.......

Hugs,
Prudence

I'm grounded!

LuLu and Flora with be posting while I'm in time out.

"Hey, dummy, I'm gonna do the posting and you can watch."

"Oh yeah, fiber brain, I want to write."

"Flora, you are so annoying!"

We announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.

As part of the plan starting the week of Jan.11th, 2016 we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.

We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.
