rust

i hope mr. likes his new scarf.  

each stitch is an exercise in love; 

and there are a lot of stitches.

december's gifts

 a simple wreath this year of red twig dogwood, variegated holly, eucalyptus and magnolia buds.

 this has been the best year so far for december camellias.

such a wonderful december treat in the gloom of the northwest.

puddy is sticking close by to keep warm.
