fibers and fabric called for
And here is what the Adam and Eve looks like, from Tanya's blog.
Pretty, right?
We are celebrating Christmas with our kids now. The father type and I had to drive up to Boston to get the boy child Thursday, and Friday we came home. We took a bit of time to wander Newbury Street with the boy child while we were there. Stopped at one of the 3 cupcake places for cupcakes, Georgetown Cupcakes.
And wandered into bookshops
And just enjoyed the lights.
The girl child came home Sunday, so we are all together again. We even went to see The Hobbit today. Yay!
And right now we are making Christmas cookies, another tradition in the family.
I am going back to enjoy the celebrating. Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. I hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful, magical, special Christmas.

What a great start on your SL pieces. My kits just came in the mail as we headed out home for the holidays.
I just love that you continue the holiday tradition of sugar cookies with your now grown kids.
Have a Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Margaret:))
Oh how did you resist those cupcakes? I certainly could not have done so. Merry Christmas to you and your gathered family.
Merry Christmas to you and the family! Mia looks so happy to have the boy child home. I didn't know they had a Georgetown Cupcake store in town. Now we will have to make a trip in.
Love your stitches!!
Look how happy your son and Mia look ~ have they been inseparable?
Enjoy your time with your children!
Hugs..
So two lovely samplers on the way ! Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and... so lovely to see Mia with her best friend again, she was surely missing him.
Merry Christmas, Margaret! The bookstore looks intriguing. It would be fun to visit!
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday. Glad the kids could be home with you both.
Merry Christmas, Margaret!
Hooray for togetherness!! And would you just look at Mia? Enjoy your time together.
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family .
Mia is also happy I see with the boy child at home.
I hope that you have a good and creative stitching new year.
Hugs, Evelyne
Love your new sampler starts, Margaret. There is nothing more special in all of the world, than having your children home for Christmas. It looks like your cookie making was great fun. Sweet Mia looks very content to have her Boy Child home again.
Hope that your Christmas was very special, and wishing you many blessings in the New Year!
Blessings!
I hope you had a very merry Christmas, Margaret. I'm glad you could all be together. Hugs!
I bet Mia is SO happy to have her boy back!
Both your samplers show a very promising start. I also joined Nicola's Scarlet Letter Challenge and I'm about to order a chart but I have found so many that I like that I have to narrow the list down to one or two, lol.
I'm sure you were having a great Christmas time with your family. It's always great when the children are home for the holidays, isn't it? I wish you and a your family a great start into the new year.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Love Newberry Street!
Your A&E is looking good...love the colors!
Always great to see your beautiful family!

Merry Christmas MArgaret!! It looks like you had a wonderful time with your children. Those cookies look so good! Mia is back with her beloved boy child!! Loooove your samplers so far! Absolutely gorgeous samplers! Can't wait to see more progress!
Hugs
You all look like you are having such a great time. I hope you did!
So you have tempted me Margaret - I am choosing A parrot, a leopard, a lion for my SL project! Just need to figure out the background colour.
Great stitching as always Margaret!
Thanks for sharing pics of your family. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas:)
Happy New Year!
such neat photos of the family - glad you all had a nice time Margaret. I love your A&E start and Rebecca is pretty too. Hope you have a very happy new year even though it will probably be quiet without the kiddos around. Cheers Mel
what a Wonderful family scene !!
I think Mia was be so happy to meet again your boy child :)
Enjoy your holidays,
Isa
TRES BONNE ANNEE 2013 !
