The Kitchen Table

I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours - Sat Dec 23

I met my match with this one. Never finished it. Brought it back to the library and they threw it out...one piece missing and one piece dog-chewed.

If you look in the upper left hand corner, you'll see the shades of blue don't line up right. This puzzle was such a bear! All the pieces were just 2 different shapes and many pieces would fit together even though they were wrong. I had to rebuild sections multiple times even where I had some pattern to follow. But that upper left was solid and after many, many tries and rebuilding, and going blind trying to determine which piece was the slightest shade darker than another, I just gave up. The number of random positions that would almost work were innumerable. Besides I need the table clear for the holidays so that was that.

Time to get into crocheting...enough with the jigsaws for awhile.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) recently captured this amazing Overview of Earth while orbiting around the moon. This individual image was composed from a series of shots taken on October 12 when the LRO was about 83 miles (134 kilometers) above the moon and traveling faster than 3,580 miles per hour (over 1,600 meters per second) relative to the lunar surface below.

Ok I've officially "lost it". The holiday season is just too stressful, with the baggage of seasons long past. Must be. I swear, I looked at Elizabeth's photo, and thought it was a wallaby eating the birdseed. lol

Didn't put up a tree this year,so gathered together some of the ornaments etc that i cross stitched ,put them in baskets and scattered them around the house.
One of my favorites,reminds me of my youth.
Made into a cube.
My gift from my exchange partner this year on 123stitch.
Except for the bells in the top left,all of these are from exchange partners over the years,i have more of these,but they are packed away in a different place.I've been in this exchange since 2001.
This dome in the center is what is left of one of those 300 day clocks that dh sent me from overseas when he was in the Marine Corp and he's been retired for43 years.The clock part broke many years ago and i saved this dome and put it to a new use.The placemats are from big lots several years ago.
This santa i fussy cut from a piece of fabric i had left over from a quilt many years ago.The crib sheet he's setting on is one of several i made for a new great gs last month.
This is part of the gift i sent my partner this year
This is a set of coasters i sent along with the ornament and some candy,chocolate of course
Better view.

Told you guys i'd be back!! LOL Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas,and a blessed new year.
