Sun puddles for Christmas

We were blessed with sunshine on Christmas. It was truly peaceful. Out of the many years we have spent the holiday season here in the Pacific Northwest I don't remember seeing the sun on Christmas day.
I was as happy as a small child would be to see snow.
I just sat in the dancing sun puddles, knitting away the afternoon as the spruce tree swayed in the wind outside. It was glorious.
I hope you are enjoying the simple gifts in your life too.

A few Christmas pictures.... before the vomiting

A little holiday baking...

Have a wonderfull-of-cookies Christmas!

Happy Winter Solstice!

May you find warmth and light on this, the darkest of nights.

The holidays are coming, I have lots to do! Knitting is something that can't be rushed, unlike sewing or painting(which I have no problems speeding through). I wonder how some one as impatient as I am can find joy in something so tedious.
Maybe that is just it, it forces me to slow down and relax.

So Green

One of the things I really love about Oregon is that it is green ALL the time. Even in the middle of the winter.
Just beautiful!
