On the hook:
In the mail:
Hanging in the windows:
In my in box:
1. Scarf #4. I’ll show you photos of #3 and #4 later this week.
2. My Moo minicards. They are smaller than the usual business cards and are popular with artists and bloggers. I love mine. I picked a favorite photo for the front. On the back is my blog URL and email address.
3. The infamous Big Lots Bottle Brush Wreaths are hanging in the living room and kitchen windows. I wrote at least 2 posts last year about scouring the entire Big Lots store and scoring 4 of them. I love them. However, one of the wreaths in the kitchen keeps turning slightly to the right. After 3 days of trying to get it to hang straight, I have officially given up.
4. I’m being taunted. Right after I wrote about wanting a new camera, this showed up in my inbox. Both my cameras have come from B & H (simply the most fabulous camera-and-everything-else store in the world.) It’s as if they can read my thoughts. They also send me a coffee-table-sized catalog every year which is on my bedside table. I look at the pictures every night. Visualization. Oh, and this morning I was reading the NY Times online and there was an ad for a rebate on Canon cameras staring me in the face as I tried to read an article. I’m being taunted, I tell you.
How is your day today?
Hi Claudia, I love your beautiful scarf, just wonderful. I also love your moo cards, so pretty. I also love your beautiful wreath. As for camera’s, I hate picking them out, I am always worried that the next one will be better. Happy Holidays. Hugs, Terri
Hi ,-love what`s on your hook-it looks beautifull, and so does your wreats too, those things are not to find here in Denmark——
Your Moo cards are so sweet, and lovely, too–but not turcoise :)
Well maybe—santa just brings you something special ,as like the camera-!!!!
Hugs,Dorthe
This makes my crocheting project look pitiful! II can’t wait to see this finished!
The yarn colors on this newest scarf are soooo pretty!
The scarf is coming along nicely…I also love the color.
The cards are pretty cool! I’ll have to check that site out.
Your wreaths are so sweet! Even if they don’t hang right. Isn’t that the way life is anyway? We never really hang the way we plan. :0)
The catalog sounds so intriquing!
Thanks for taking part in my “survey” this morning!
YOUR SCARF IS PRETTY, I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY TRYING TO FINISH MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING I STOPPED ALL CRAFTS.
GOOD NEWS, I FINISHED MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, NOW FOR THE WRAPPING. YOUR CARDS ARE PRESCIOUS, I LOVE THE SIZE. HOPE SANTA BRINGS YOU A NEW CAMERA. RIZZI
Hi Claudia, CC and I are learning to crochet and we are pitiful teaching ourselves. Every where I look I see cameras even TV commercials are now showing Canon Rebels. Today I am cleaning house and took cookies to my neighbors. ♥O
I like the clever way you categorized your photos. And your business cards are very artsy, like you (: I’m starting to get a little flicker of interest in a new camera too. How do you choose?
What a beautiful scarf you’re creating and I love your cards!
Lovely day to you Sweet Friend,
Karyn
I had to rip out my scarf!!!! I was watching a movie and crocheting – not too good when I am trying to count!
Love your moo cards. I just got a Canon Rebel and there is lots to learn. Hope Santa brings you a new camera because you have been good!

Isn’t that always the way it works? When you have something on the brain, it always seems to be everywhere. I have never heard of moo cards and am quite intrigued. Will google. Today has been a peaceful, relaxing, productive day. Ann
Hi Claudia,
I have a feeling that a new camera will be in your hands before long! LOL!
Love all your photos. I have two of those big lots bottle brush wreaths and I searched others for more to no avail.
I didn’t see any this year. They are really cute and look so vintage.
hugs

Well, your house is looking mighty holiday festive! I never seem to find anything at Big Lots. I love your cards. I need to do that. Keep spinning that yarn (my idea of a pun…can’t tell a joke to save my poor life.)
Brenda
I MOO too! Love those little cards and since I couldn’t decide on just one photo, I used 48 different photos. Because they let me. :-)
I’ve never heard of B&H but will check it out. (I’ve shopped at newegg.com for cameras in the past.) Sounds like this is the ‘camera Christmas’ for many bloggers.
Hi dear! Love the color of your yarn and the moo cards…so sweet.
I have completely forgotten to shop at Big Lots this year! Bummer!! They always have such cute Christmas decor.
I hope you get the camera of your dreams….a Hasselblad has not yet made it over here to San Antonio to be all mine..hahaha!
Hugs and love,
Deanna :D
You ARE being taunted, aren’t you?? I hope the perfect camera for you makes it out of you inbox and into your hands soon!
I love those Moo cards. Yours are so pretty! (As is that gorgeous scarf that you are crocheting!)
Hugs,
Jill
Hello Sweet Claudia! I love all the crocheting you have been doing! You are good at it to! I love the Peaches and Cream colors. I wonderful if they still carry it. I want more colors for my little dish clothes I make. Your home is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! Sweet touches everywhere. What a wonderful trip you had in NY with all the creative women. How fun that must have been to met up with all of them!
Wishing you and Don a wonderful Christmas!
Love you my friend!

What a fun post today! Love the scarves that you’ve been making and I remember coveting those bottle brushes trees last year – still love them.
Merry Christmas to you both!

Claudia,
I made the green one too! I love it. I gave it to Cheryl after my appointment with her this week. I think she really liked it as green is her color.
Love you,
Meredith
Hi Claudia, I always love the sweet simplicity of your posts! You always highlight the current, meaningful things going on in your life. We’re heading into the city in a bit to shop at Eataly for a few things – we’re having a dinner party tomorrow night and I want to pick up a few simple and delicious things for appetizers. Ciao, bella!
Happy snapshots, Claudia. You have got some funny things to work on and think about!
Have a wonderful weekend. xx
Oh my goodness! I love everything!!! I hope you get to realize your wish for a new camera!! The coffee filter wreath is beautiful!! I too was having a fit using the glue gun on my hymnal page wreath! I burned my fingers and all but it was worth the results-ha! A wonderful post, claudia!
