The warmest holiday greetings to all! (and I do mean warm, it’s icy and chilly here!) Staying up tonight and painting! It’s nice to have some time off.
Winter walk from yesterday, mittens by a very old tree with little animal tracks in the snow, reflections in an icy woodland pool and lighting the candles on the third night…
And finally, a full photo of the vintage Queen Anne’s embroidery from last post (I thought it deserved to be viewed in full!)
It’s so pretty and textured and I can’t wait to hang it up in my studio (for now it just lays on my painting drop cloth).
Have a magical holiday season everyone!~*~*~
Happy holidays to you too!
May your days be filled with adventures, discoveries, enchantment and art!
Thanks MJ!
happy New Year to you:)
Happy holidays Sarah 😀
Here in Norway we open the presents on the 24th, so today we`re just relaxing and enjoying our presents and all the yummy food.
And I hope yours were magical too! I am familiar with the customs of norway, my good friend opens here present on the eve of Christmas (and has real candles on the tree!) I’m guessing this is a Norwegian custom too?
Have a great New Year!!!!
-:- Happy Holidays to you, too -:-
I adore your Queen Ann’s Lace embroidery … It reminds me of something I made. I love the english name, tho … They don’t even have a “common” name for it in french … It’s just “ombelles”. Not that pretty ! I’ve been drawing and embroiding these for some years, now.
All the Best from France,

The embroidery is not created by me…it was found in a thrift shop! But it is lovely likewise. Queen Anne’s lace is a pretty name, agreed! The other name for it here in America is Wild Carrot, not so pretty. And I think “Ombelles” is a beautiful word too!
Happy New Year!
Wishing you a beautiful Christmas~
Staying up late to paint sounds good…perhaps I’ll follow your plans 🙂
A late “Merry Christmas” Heather. Staying up late, yes, a good thing!
… and a happy sparkling new years wish, with a bunch of eskimokisses on the top!
and you too!!!

Hope you are having a relaxing and festive holiday!
Yes, “Ombelles” is cute too, but not as poetic !
And I just remembered that it’s also called “carottes sauvages” in french ! hehe
