How does the time just slip away? I've been getting the house ready for Christmas. I want it to be done by Thanksgiving. That may seem early, but I want to enjoy the season and all its beauty and by having the decorating done is one less thing for me to think about!
I took my sweet Santa boot that I wove last year out of the closet a couple of days ago. It is sitting on a table near the front door and I put big candy canes in it. Cute! The pattern for this is Julie Deen's. If you haven't been to her site in a while, it's time you popped over to see some of her latest works. She has the most beautiful egg basket and has woven it with fabric! I love it! Julie is so creative.
Remember last year Julie sent me this angel? It has been on my kitchen windowsill all year. Now it sits among some Christmas greenery and pine cones. Super Sweet!
Anyway, are any of you getting ready for Christmas? Last night the kids made chocolate covered pretzels. Yum!!! Of course we have to have those as a snack on Thanksgiving day.
Emily has started seeing an endocrinologist for her Hashimoto's and Vitamin D deficiency. That has meant more lab work for her. Poor kiddo is a pin cushion these days. After Thanksgiving she gets in with pediatric infectious disease about the chronic lyme disease. I really believe God is shining and getting her going in the right direction.
I also started with a company called Rendi. So now I have two small businesses, Rendi and Scentsy. Rendi is personalized home decor and is a brand new direct sales company that just launched October 1st of this year. It's actually a sister company of Danieleson Designs which has been around 20 years. I feel I'm on the ground floor with it and much can be done on the internet for it so I don't anticipate it taking as much time as Scentsy (which has been keeping me pleasantly hopping). I'm really pressing forward with getting the mortgage paid off on the house. Hallelujah when that happens!
Have a blessed Sunday. Hope you are all healthy, we've been getting over colds here, and hope all is going well in your part of the world.
Love and hugs,
Nancy
Hi Nancy - Love the Santa Boot. Do you think I could get a copy of the pattern from Julie -- is it for sale?
