Oh, poor abandoned blog o’ mine.
Jim is giving us a make-over. He’ll be adding more goodies in the next few days. Thanks from the bottom of my Valentine candy heart, Jimmy!
It’s late and I don’t have time for much. I’ve missed the internets and my webbed friends.
SO much life. Once I was enmeshed in the great-blog-break, it was like when I fall behind on corresponding with a friend– I keep waiting for that perfect time to sit and pen an epic missive, catching up on all that has passed. and waiting. and waiting.
How about just some pictures for tonight?
From The Holidays– I have so much to be thankful for. I had the gift of time spent with my family– here and at the beach with mom and sisters and tribes.
Here are a few wonders of the season to share~
The most gnomely window decoration of all time from my darling Erin. Lordy, how I adore it.
Gloriously sparkly and teeny-tiny decorations from my friend Jen the most excellent hat maker. Please visit her shop for felted hat amazement!
A beeswax gnome candle which I shall enjoy forever, because how on earth could I light his head aflame!?
The most adorable gnome and cookies from my ravelry gnomesap partner.
Thank you friends, I treasure them all!
I have been knitting a bunch in between the busy.
A bunch of Holiday gifts.
Also, some gnomish gifts–
saartje’s booties– a really great pattern for little feet.
a gnome set for a sweet little baby, newly hatched.
and my gnome contribution to the swap.
This was the Holiday of window-stars too. I have given most of them away, but here is one that stayed. I am ever thankful to my sister Sharney for once teaching me to make these.
I have much to catch up on. I have gotten a good start during the ice-age of the Mid Atlantic region. Jim did so much of the shoveling… I sewed crazily small clothing for kids dolls, and got a little centered.
The poppets made a snow-hotel out front, about 3 feet of snow overtop of where my garden patiently waits for Spring and the great thaw. 
Mighty Jim shoveled the driveway, like with a SHOVEL. That is so. much. snow.
I am slowly getting organized again and I am in a mad-mental-frenzy of new fiber-work. The physical part will commence this week.
More news from Snowlandia soon! Stay warm and let me know if you’d like a room in the hotel! Room are cheap!!
I have to post pictures of our best dollies you made. If I can wrangle them away from the girlies.
