is a Christmas carol of German origin. It has long inspired many a song singing its praises of such a beautiful tree. It was always one of my favorites as a kid.

This is the 4th and last of my ornament trees. I do like the ornament trees, no fuss, no muss and I don’t have to worry about certain feline children getting any ideas!

This is a favorite Mutts cartoon of mine from Christmas past. I can just see AlleyCat perched ontop of the tree just so proud of what she had just done!

A few more of my favorite ornaments from years past. I wish that I had the dates embroidered on the back of all of them. This one of course celebrates Christmas California style.

A Christmas heart designed by Gay Ann Rogers and it looks like there is another candy cane hanging next to the Christmas chicken. I think that I did 3 or 4 of those chickens years back as did most of the ladies in our stitching group. Oh they were so fun to do!

I worked at home most of the day on stitch guides and took an afternoon break for a little stash enhancement. A few threads and what I thought what I needed was 7″ stretcher bars turned out that I really needed 8″ bars!

Today will be a stay at home all day long and stitch day…not sure what I will work on, but I am stitching. and until next time…keep on stitching. It seems that Sylvester is keeping my spot warm for me.
