Little Riley is Wishing…

My little Riley Kish is wishing and wishing and wishing for a white Christmas. It was looking promising on Halloween, but that snow has melted now. We had another little snowstorm last weekend, and since it was a cold week it stuck around for a few days. But now, it has warmed up, so little Riley is forlornly looking out the window and only seeing rain. I told her that there are still weeks left before Christmas, so to not lose hope. I maybe saw the tiniest little smile on her face after that. She’s trying to be optimistic…

In the meantime, while Riley is waiting for Christmas (and snow) to arrive she is being as festive as possible. For her, that means jingling her tiny jingle bells and decorating the tree. Holiday festiveness and snow go perfectly together. At least here in northern Illinois that is the way things go. I believe she thinks that she is calling on the snow to fall by being the most festive little one possible.

So, while you are here visiting with us Riley would like to show you her new Christmas ensemble. She loves how cozy her merino sweater dress is, and how her Santa hat makes her eyes shine. She is one festive little girl, isn’t she? “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells…” she sings🎶 in her sweet voice. I wish you could hear her…

Will you help Riley wish for Christmas snow? The poor thing will be quite disappointed if we don’t have a white Christmas. Thank you for your help!

Bye for now! Enjoy the week ahead. Hugs from Riley!🤗

It’s the Christmas Season!

Hello from yet another dreary day in northern Illinois.  Although it is not too cold and NO SNOW!–only frosty rooftops this morning.  (I will not complain.)  So many of you have LOTS of SNOW and COLD!  Anyway… it is cozy and warm inside.

Christmas is fast approaching!  Because we were out of town on our usual tree farm day (day after Thanksgiving), we don’t have our tree yet!  We did get our Snow Village put up this year though.  We (my dear husband) divided the houses up between the dining room and family room.  This way we can enjoy them in two different areas of the house.

Here are some pics from the dining room display.  Two houses, a church, the flower shop, and ice rink are set up on the buffet cabinet across from the dining table.  While in the living room we can look over and enjoy them.

I set up my camera on a tripod for the following pics.  It was quite dark, so the exposures were long.  The images came out cozy and dreamy, love that.

Two of my Little Darling ensembles are on their way to dress two Little Darling girls in new finery for the 2019 holiday.  I enjoyed packing them up and tying the parcels with coordinating yarn.

My two Little Darlings, Alice and Gina, are still dressed in their holiday ensembles in my sewing room.  If you are shopping for something new they are still available.  Alice and Gina wouldn’t mind sharing 🙂 .  Look for the specifics for these ensembles under the ‘Available’ tab above.

Not sure what I am doing today.  Definitely no traipsing through a tree farm.  My back has been giving me a little trouble, so I just want to sit the day away as sitting is pain free and walking isn’t.  Back pain is a bother.  *ugh*

What are you doing today?  Any Christmas prep going on by you?
