My Halls Are Decked - Part 2

 

In today’s post, I’ll show some more scenes from my holiday decorating. Long ago, my friend Diane taught me how to do stained glass. This little grouping has not been displayed for many years, but the window ledge in my dining area in my new home is perfect for doing so. 

I would occasionally accompany her to a local glass shop, Whittemore-Durgin in Rockland. I would pull out a pieces of glass and suggest that she really needed to buy it. She said if I liked it so much, I should buy it and she would teach me and she did. One unusual piece had a black swirl through it. You can see it below where I used it to create the cloak of one of the Wise Men. I no longer work with stained glass, but I am happy to display these pieces.

Here are some other scenes. 

And finally, here’s my favorite quilt, not just Christmas quilt but favorite of all time. I think it was called “Old World Santas.” 

Thank you for the positive energy sent Emma’s way as she is doing better. The vet said Vestibular Disease can reoccur, but for now, she is steadily improving.

2025 has been quite a year for me! As I have said, everyone should buy a new home at least once every seventy years or so. :-) I wonder what 2026 will bring?  Wishing you all, a healthy, happy year ahead and thank you for reading my blog ramblings.
