Had to show you what I finished while I was gone. I have a list of cross-stitch "to do"s. This Shepard's Bush chart was from the early 90's. The Herbal Husband was amazed how quick it was to finish. He was probably thinking why didn't she finish it sooner! Oh, well, this was what I was ripping out earlier and had to start over again!
Psst, don't let The Herbal Husband know it, but this is my favorite Christmas present this year. He got me some wonderful language of flower books. I'll share them later. This is from my best friend's daughter, my almost daughter, Miss C. It is a BloemBox for a Bumble Bee Garden. Inside this adorable box are three 5' seed ribbons made of plantable, biodegradable tissue paper filled with premium seeds for effortless planting. They are Dahlia Flowered Pink Zinnia (Zinnia elegans), Queen Anne's Thimble (Gilia capitata) and Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), all annuals. Miss C called this gift a twofer because once the seed ribbons are planted, the box is way too cute not to use it for other stuff! So Miss C and I will be busy planting them next spring after the threat of frost is gone. So The Herbal Husband and I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve celebration wherever you may be! Be safe and I will talk to you in the New Year! (Probably tomorrow!)

The pillow is very beautiful. I think you can keep it out for a little while with its wintery theme. The flowers and seeds are a wonderful gift but as my sweetie would know I would like the box the best. Silly isn't it?
Happy New Year to you and the HH!
Happy New Year to you too! Have a good one.
Thanks, TG! I think I'm going to keep it out year round! It is so funny how similar we are!
Hi Kay, Happy New Year to you and your family!
P.S. TG, Happy New Year to you and your sweetie!
My dear friend Nancy,
Part of the joy of this year was spending time with you. Jeff and I were both so happy we met in person instead of always "on line."
Sending love and best New Year's wishes to you and yours,
Sharon
What a sweet pillow with a lovely sentiment. That little box of seeds is adorable.
