I completed the finishing on 2 more of The Prairie Schooler O Christmas Tree ornaments yesterday.

They are not perfect but they are handmade and not suppose to be perfect despite what my DH says.  He has been criticizing me on my finishing on these ornaments so I refuse to show them to him anymore.

I have 4 more to go and they will be finished.

This is for me and hangs

Now I just have Winter to do and I will have one for each season.

Yesterday we went shopping and bought a new ceiling fan and light for the kitchen.  Guess I have to schedule the electrician to come install it.  We also want to have some recessed lights put in the kitchen.  Since it is starting to get dark earlier and earlier I think we have to get this done as soon as possible or we won't be able to see to cook.

Looking forward to watching the Eagles and the Redskins tonight.  I hope the Eagles do well so Bob won't change the channel on me.  I guess I will have to watch by myself if he does that.  GO EAGLES

Th e Prairie Schooler - O Christmas Tree

I just finished this ornament.  It is the 1st of 8 Christmas Tree Ornaments I have to finish.  This is my practice tree, I just wanted to make sure I could finish them properly.

No-Sew Cube for my sister

I stitched this and made it into a no-sew cube for my sister Barbara.  I didn't put a ribbon or bow on it because she didn't like the choice I made for the summer no-sew cube I made for her.  I guess beggars can be choosers.
