Christmas 2008


Some Christmas wrapping before it all got squished on the snowy trip to Ucluelet. The kids were with their dad, as we alternate years.

Christmas morning before my husband got out of bed...a quiet morning coffee, and a warm fire.

I made my own gift tags from old fabric book inserts (showing fabric repeat).

This year our gift bags were re-usable as lunch bags later. Inside were Belgian chocolates from Santa's travels.

Looks like a hairbrush would have been in order, LOL, but Santa was listening...he took a trip to the blue box store with shinny stuff and to Hudson's Bay in his sleigh! I'm so glad he reads my blog!



I am a sucker for Christmas music; old and new. The Starbucks compilations are really good, and I have collected a few over the years...their "Ornamental Holiday" has David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing "Little Dummer Boy" together...it's from a TV special a few years back, and for me is so nostalgic. The green covered "A Very Special Christmas" is still my all time favorite all time Christmas CD.


We had over 18 inches of snow in my neighbourhood...more in North Van. ...all right before and during Christmas! You notice there are no tire tracks out of my driveway on the left.

Pictures of Ucluelet Christmas, and my sister's new puppy to come.

nesting

Did you know that the Victorians and Royalty once used pomanders to mask odors? I love these oranges covered in cloves. I haven't made them for a few years, so I pushed cloves in a few very hard skinned oranges. They do smell awesome! I love fruit and flowers at Christmas; those and a roaring fire.

Today I picked up the framing that was waiting for me at Phoenix Art Workshop; I bought the two architectural prints from 1887 at the Paris flea market, and I think they turned out great. They are done in a 1" black frame with ribbing. I like how it mimics the architecture in the prints. The other pair is of Moorish design details and veneer samples -it didn't attach well, and needs to be dry mounted again, so is not in the picture. I'll use the architectural prints in my bedroom makeover, and the smaller prints in my office; I thought they referenced my work in a suttle way.
