Welcome Winter, and those south of Equator. Welcome Summer. Got the tree done, and yule cards out. This year I add a story. Which you can read it HERE and HERE.
I rarely place Christmas balls on my tree. I like individual ornaments place on them. To me, they tell a story the first one I place, was car carrying skies. I only been on snow skies ones. Now I been on water skies quite a few times. Now the fact is skiing is out of my price range. And my bones couldn't handle it. But the time I did it was both “scary” and “exciting”. Plus I should toss the word “fun” in it.
I had the plans to get the rest of letters, to match our first name. So you could guess “D” stand for Dora.

This is my new ornaments. I made it at the senior center. Now the days here will slowly get longer. Today is the longest day for darkness.
I'm heading to a yule or winter solstice celebration and pot luck. I'm using one of ANGIES RECIPE. This is the recipe I used, MAUSTEKAKU FINNISH SPICE CAKE. I had chat-gpt put it in imperial measurements. I had no cocoa powder. So I put 2 tablespoon of molasses in it.
Put the laundry away, and I was hanging up things in the closet. And hanging things one the wire hangers. What came to my mind was from the movie “Mommie Dearest” and when the charter Joan Crawford said “No more wire hangers” as she beats her kids. Murphy making bean soup.
Coffee is on.
I like your ornaments. How was the cake?
ReplyDelete...Dora, may your light always shine.
ReplyDeleteSouth of the equator might be a bit hot in late Dec, but during the 6 weeks of the summer holidays, the children love playing on the beach and in the pools. The food can be largely cold; ditto the drinks.
ReplyDeleteGreat time of year!
I remember that movie. She was horrible.
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks lovely
Your tree is beautiful. I don't think I have seen that movie. My clothes hangers are all sturdy plastic ones in different colours, blue, green, pink and grey. Next year I will buy initials for the twins and their brothers to hang on their tree. I love the ornament you made.
