Holly's Debut

"Holly"

By Lori Brechlin for Notforgotten Farm

I was going to add many more antique mother of pearl buttons, 

but I think more butons would have taken away from the design.

I am so happy that she is completed

and I think that she is too!

I will keep her out as long as winter continues here on Winding Vine.

I had a wool winter finish as well:

"Snowflake Catcher"

Designed and kitted by Primitive Gatherings

I just love the wool for the wood paneled car :)

These finishes are so appropriate right now as this is the view of my back yard:

Nine consecutive days of measurable snow here in Chicago for a total of 18 inches.

Although no snow days for me. The commuter train line was right on time.

February isn't even half over, so I think that I'll work on some Valentine designs next...

 If I speak in the languages of humans and angels but have no love, 

I have become a reverberating gong or a clashing cymbal. 

If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, 

and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing. 

Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself, but have no love, I gain nothing.

~1 Corinthians 13:1-3
