Our time-shifted Davis Christmas yesterday was perfect - complete with snow that arrived on the 27th. Here is what our Christmas morning looked like as the sun came up.
It remained clear and crisp all day - just the way you hope it will. The kids' first gift to us was a shoveled driveway. which we truly appreciated. And the rest of the day was filled with love, laughter, favourite food, gifts, games and movies. Plus a little online ukelele lesson for me. (Rick remembered that i said i wanted to learn to play. how can you resist an instrument that makes you laugh.)
It made for a very quiet 25th, since we wanted to have the full experience - from stockings to turkey with all the trimmings - when we could be together. So, part of the 25th was spent working on this pattern that was percolating as I worked on all those knitted gifts.
here is the full design which is about 20" x 18"
and here is a closer peek at the face in the frame
I am determined to get him done while still in the mood - I doubt I will feel like working on him in July. And then he will be ready to welcome the month of December.
Not sure if that makes today a time-shifted Boxing Day LOL, but I still have my kids for 24 more hours. Yippee!
