This is a Christmas Angel done by my SIL...so sad. She passed away at 39 from lung cancer. But she loved doing counted cross stitch. The close up shows just how fine the stitches are. She did amazing work.

And here it is over our fireplace where we hang it every Xmas...

This is a glass tower near or in Orlando Florida.

Looking up through the structure standing underneath it -

This was the stage set. Took a quick pic before “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune” started. May 18, 2019. My friend and I went. I live in the city and so rarely attend any “performing art” event. It was a great day.

Since I'm feeling a little goofy today, here's some "art" from the Musee des Arts Forain in Bercy just outside of Paris:

An example of intarsia woodworking. This belonged to my sister. It is about 20"x10". I coveted it.

Another example of woodworking. This first finished effort at carving by my nephew who gifted it to me to add to my owl collection.

Photograph my daughter took in India. It looks like a painting and is one of

my favorites.

of India while sprinkling in the touristy things as well.

Block printing at its finest.

My favorite silk Persian

My grandson drew this sketch of his paternal grandfather.

A surfer made of clay by my son when he was a kid.

Satellites on display in the Air & Space museum (Udvar-Hazy Center). Mid-century mod at its finest!

If you’ll allow me, one extra today. You’d never know by looking at what I wear anymore, but I really love beautiful clothes.

Long story short....(I’m sorry, I babble sometimes)....my mom, ages ago, worked for a super duper wealthy woman. A blue blood. Occasionally she would offer my mom some dresses she was getting rid of, for my older sis. My sister had zero interest. YAY! I was only around 10 or so (sister was 20) but I loved them.

I’ve kept them stored in my mom’s closet. My younger daughter loves them. She’s tall enough to pull this one off. In my mind, it’s a work of art. I know it may seem weird to some, but my daughter with her long dark hair would turn heads. It’s all silk. Lined. Just gorgeous.

Yayagal! What a beautiful face!!!

Wow Lars!!!

WOW Lars--you are just so talented! That's amazing.

We saw these 'windows' on the side of a building in Whitefish, MT when we visited West Glacier a few years ago. They represent the 4 seasons and local activities/scenes.

This one is Winter

Annie, that cross stitch is stunning! What an awesome treasure though sad you lost your SIL at such a young age.

lgmd, your woodworking pieces speak to me. :) What a great talent.

This is a neat piece of ceramic work that I got at an art fair a few years ago. It is actually a chip/dip tray, but I put the candle in it for a festive look this Christmas.
