Christmas Wishes

 Oh my gosh, where has the time gone. Christmas is almost here.With holiday decorations up before Halloween in all the stores, it seems to take forever to get here. And then, all of a sudden it's in 2 days. Well, at least I got all my shopping done. Just have to do some wrapping. My baking is also done. I don't do as much as I used too.  Just my Strufoli aka Honey Balls a  Neopoltan treat.  These days my daughter does  most of the baking. Although tomorrow, I will be making Rice Balls/Arancini.  A Sicilian dish that my Grandmother used to make. I only make them once or twice a year for Thanksgiving and or Christmas.This year I'm doing it twice.

So I will like to take this time to wish all my family, friends and followers of my blog a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year/Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo. . 
These are my wishes for you all:
For The Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarves: I wish you all safe travels and low airfares. 
For my Quilting Friends May your quilts get into all the shows you entered and win you many awards.
For all Health and Prosperity for the New Year.

For the World out there.  How about a Little Peace and a year without Terrorism. A Slogan from the 60's 
"Make Love not War"...that's it. No more preaching......

My latest jewelry designs

Just a couple of my new pieces. All are handmade by me. All are for sale. For more information and prices please email me privately.

Today I'm rearranging and cleaning out my studio and my son's room. Which has become a dumping ground for excess crafting supplies.
These are 3 master molds of my dolls. Dolls that I had sculpted during the early 90's. Now I haven't made a dolls in almost 20 years and I don't have any of my molds left. So I can't make any even if I wanted to. And yet it is so hard for me to put these 3 pieces in the trash. I feel like I'm throwing away my babies...Silly, isn't it. I haven't even looked at them in years. Well, I will bite the bullet and toss it...

check out my QR code...Cool. now I have to figure out how to post on the side bar so that its permanent.

The Lover's

I started this quilt sometime ago. I'm really, really happy that it's finally finished. There was a lot of aggravation and a lot of lessons learned. I took it apart so many times I lost count. And my poor friends who had to listen to me kvetch through the whole process. That is a true sign of friendship...LOL...Thanks guys.....
