Country Homecoming

Before I post the pictures of our blocks, I just have to say that words can't describe my shock and sadness at the horrific event in Newtown, CT.   My heart hurts for the victims and their loved ones.  It is unimaginable to think that someone would want to take our children from us.   I just want to run to Seattle and hang on to these two and never let go.






Well, it's the 15th and that means it's time to post our construction progress.   A few of the "neighbors" seem to be on vacation this month (Hawaii?)  but hopefully we'll see them next month when we start putting it all  together.   But, we are welcoming a NEW neighbor who decided to move in.   Say hi to Shazy!   We are thrilled that you are joining us.

Here are Sandy's blocks (again...she's a "no blog")

And these are mine...I still need to embroider the panes on the windows.

Hello?.....all 12 blocks are done.  Can I get a Woo Hoo?

Yesterday I was out running errands all day long and when I picked up the mail, there was a package from Paulette.   Now, what in the heck was she sending me?

Check out the pretty paper and that adorable ornament!

And the cute message she wrote on the card. Looks like the Boss gets a Christmas gift.   :)

Look what she made!   Isn't this the cutest candle mat you've ever seen?    She had shown some projects on her blog yesterday and I even commented that whoever was getting one was a lucky recipient..   Who would have thought that I was one of them?    I was so delighted I could hardly contain myself.

She showed it on her blog with a darling star candle holder, so I immediately went thru everything I had to find one so it would look just like hers.    I think I need to look at some thrift stores to find one exactly like she found.

Thank you so much Paulette.  You truly are a "Sweet P"

Now go visit the other bloggers to see what kind of construction they've been up to.
Paulette, Patti, Shazy, and Carrie.  (See?  we've lost a few this month)

Hugs, Anne
