Even though Mother Nature has revealed her less gentle side as her prelude to Winter, her presence evokes one to see the beauty she presents as well....
Not wanting or even attempting to upstage her perfection I enjoy the simplicity of the season. A welcoming wreath with birch bark accents enticing visitors to the door...
A handmade knitted nest ornament with a snowfairy mouse.
Simple antique child's stockings waiting in anticipation to be filled.
And of course I've been busy knitting (watching Nature from the cozy warmth inside). A bag to be felted from Noro Kureyon yarn. (Similar to the one in the background knitted in Malabrigo yarn only bigger)
Stay warm!

Total contentment I 'hear' in your writing Susan. That makes me so happy to know you! The nest took my breath away. What a work of art it is.
The beautiful wreath at your door lets me know I am welcome here!

Beautiful images of winter Susan. The nest ornament is exquisite! I always take such pleasure in seeing your craft work, you are so very talented.
The Festival of Lights must have been a spectacular event and in such a setting!
Oh, in case I forget, Happy Birthday for the 26th!

Hello there Susan! Thank you so much for your kind comment this evening. May I reciprocate and say how much I have enjoyed making your acquaintance too. Your blog is always so interesting. Have a lovely Christmas and a peacefiul 2011. Ros ans Oscar
Lovely simplicity - the wreath and the knitting, both elegant.
I imagine a Festival of Lights in Niagara on the Lake - must be fairyland!
Mother Nature always seems to have a surprise for us now and then doesn't she. I really like your wreath. It looks very inviting hanging on your door.
I hope you have a beautiful week!
