I had hopes
that I
would be working on these projects for Advent. The stitchery looked so doable! Alas, I didn't even get it copied to fabric or add yarn to my needles for the hat.
Instead, we have been busy with family activities--my Florida brother/spouse are coming so he can preach one Sunday at our Cowboy church. So various family members from far and wide want to attend to hear his message. We arranged extra lodging and meal planning is in the works to feed ? people!
House is decorated!! That's a good thing!
The tree is bright and shinning
Our wooden shoes from Netherlands placed nearby
Our little Gnome from Norway has a perfect location
Our Mary with baby Jesus ride a donkey led by Joseph--
hand fashioned clay structures from our years in Venezuela
Every chance we ventured to the little art community outside of Puerto la Cruz to
visit with the artists there. Since we have moved, have no idea if the area is surviving
Festive garland hovers over the photos of our favorite great grandsons.
The house was blessed yesterday as the small hands busied themselves assisting me with the nativity set, which was made by my Granny( their great great great grandmother) in 1970;s. They did their best to display the scene in their own way.
All the animals are placed in the stable with Mary-- seems logical in their eyes;
with the other players in the Nativity scene lined up in proper fashion! Baby Jesus is ouside the boundary till Christmas morning.
I will not change a thing or rearrange--
Family is Christmas!!
