...a start..a new year..an angel


First, I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with friends...enjoying their good company and eating things we only indulge in once a year. Christmas Day was quiet...just like we like it.

 Our tree came down yesterday and today will be spent getting things back in order. Annie's Owl Tree will stay up for a while longer.

My hooking chair has not been used for hooking in a very long time.


It's seat, however, was warmed for a brief while over the holiday. It's a start. 

I'm keeping with the colors of the original rug by Maggie Bonanomi and found in her latest book "Thistle Down Moon".

My Kitchen Window...again? Let me know.

As 2014 winds down, I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! Hoping 2015 brings you all good things...health, happiness and memories made with those you love. And wouldn't it be lovely if we had a little peace in the world?

 Happy New Year!

Enjoy the day,
Robyn

P.S. For those of you who shared your thoughts on our "anonymous giver" in my last post...I believe, too.

  3. The rug is looking so pretty, almost like a home in the snow which I do not get to see very much of in Greenville NC :( Yes to the window. My sink is not near a window. If it was I would take a cue from you and decorate with the seasons.

  13. I love your rug start. I hope it means your shoulder is better. I always enjoy your kitchen window. What would we do if you stopped posting it every month? I think I would be sad. Glad you had a good Christmas. Happy New Year!

  16. Hi Robyn,
    I adore your mantel, so very charming and I love your WIP hooking, so darling.
    Fascinating the things that stay with you in life, huh? Your post about the anonymous giver keeps coming back to me. The world is such a strange place these days and it's hard to know what some intend. Whatever his motivation, I think you were so very brave and kind to notice his need and accept his gift.
    I love Annie's owl tree and new ornament, what a lovely friend and gift!
    Hope your shoulder is better?
    Wishing you and all your dear ones, much joy in 2015!
