Nearly There.
Posted on | December 28, 2024 | 8 Comments
We are nearly ready for the New Year. But there is still a little Christmas to catch up on first. In fact, we haven’t celebrated Christmas with our family yet. Our granddaughter was unwell on Christmas eve, so we had to put off our visit. We will instead catch up in a couple of days. The grandchildren are fine with that because they say it sounds like having two Christmases. That is a good attitude to have.
I made lots of cards at the start of December.
And I made lots of these tags for gifts.
I also admired the way gifts can be wrapped and presented. I can’t bring myself to undo this one.
During December I have also been watching the growth of this plant. It is called a pineapple plant, only because of its looks, not because it is grown from a pineapple. I don’t know its botanical name.
It started as a few shoots.
It quickly developed three spikes.
Those spikes rapidly grew in size and struggled to stay upright. ( I had to bring the pot inside on a very hot day.)
And now all the little flowers are opening on each spike.
What an amazing plant. It is the first year I have had it. A friend separated hers and gave me a pot. I wonder what it will do next year?
I have a special task left to do before the New Year. I have been given this wonderful sign for my quilt studio. It looks stunning and I need to have it on display as soon as possible. (Thanks, J.)
That should be all from me for this year.
Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
Happy New Year.
Cheers, Karen

Neat cards! And those gift tags–so cute! I’d want to hang it on the wall in the studio. The growth of your plant is amazing! What a great sign addition for your studio!!!
Cute cards and tags. Love your sign, such thoughtful gift to a crafter. Indeed an amazing plant, never seen it before.
Have a Merry Christmas together with your family (doesn’t matter if it’s late!). Wishing you and yours a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What an amazing plant! I’ve never seen one before. Love that gift tag you made, and your sewing room art!

Wow, what a gorgeous plant, I’ve not seen one of those before. Your sign is wonderful! I love the cards you made, too.
Two Christmases – how perfect! I wish my family would do this every year. One son insists on celebrating on THE day while the other is bound by his wife’s wishes to visit her family. So we gather at about 11:30 and by 3:30 people start to go their own way! Enjoy your family time. That pineapple plant is a beauty. I seem to remember my mother having one, many years ago. Happy New Year Karen!
A cute sign for your sewing room. Happy New year Karen.
What a wonderful gift from your friend J, just right to hang in your quilting room.
