29 DecBlue-eyed Buddy Boy has a thick winter coat!
And a blue knitted blanket just his size.

The mower barn was drafty! And the hay barn is not the same since it was rebuilt after the fire in July.

19 DecA time when the gift bag is a gift!
How perfect!
We found “Eve” on Christmas Eve 2006 in the cattle trailer on Nina Bay Farm. Apparently someone was depositing kittens in trailers parked at the Sale Barn a couple of days earlier. How’s that for a strategy to find homes for animals?
Eve did not have an opportunity to climb a Christmas tree in 2006. She did climb Christmas trees the next two years. The tree did not fall over.

Prayer shawl for hospice care
7 Mar
Prayer shawl
I love the concept of knitted prayer shawls. Knitting is a meditative endeavor that naturally pairs with prayer. During this year’s season of Lent, I will make three prayer shawls as requested for hospice care. The yarn I have in my stash is Lion Brand Wool-ease which is a Lamb’s Wool blend with acrylic. This scripture came to mind:
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29
This color #232 is named “Wood”…hummm…wooden cross. The pattern repeats the number ‘three’ for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The symbolism I just wrote about is lost on Eve, office assistant. She thinks this project is just her ‘size’.

Priority: Days for Girls International
10 Jan
Yes, dear Eve (office assistant) we are ready to ship liners and pads to the Days for Girls International Chapter in Iowa…but the box is not BIG enough.
FYI Elfcroft’s 2016 contributions were included in kits assembled in Iowa then distributed to communities in Uganda, Ghana, Haiti and Swaziland.
Our first 2017 shipment has 320 tri-fold, reversible, top stitched flannel pads….
Featuring bold, bright, varied color and patterns
Plus Liners (stacked 10 high) with polyurethane laminate or PUL middle and pockets to insert folded pad. Wings will have a snap installed at assembly location.
These components are put in draw string bags with (2) pairs of panties, wash cloth, soap, and (2) ziplock gallon size freezer bags to help washing. The design intention is for each kit to be reused over a three-year time frame.
Just one of many reasons Days for Girls International is so important…
Tree Story
21 Dec“Eve” was a Christmas present to us Christmas “Eve” of 2006. (She should NOT be on the table cloth.)
If trees could talk….
The six sparkly cane shaped ornaments were my first purchase (early 1970s). I remember the Christmas Shop well. It was July in North Carolina! The shop was cool! Full size trees were decorated to the max. Enchanting. Delightful.
The Christmas Shop, 621 South Highway 64, Manteo, NC 27954 – See more at: http://outerbankschristmas.com/About.htm#sthash.i4bIvfu5.dpuf
According to the history on their website, they downsized and closed the business for 90 days in 2008. It has since reopened and sounds delightful as I remember.
For more than twenty years I had fresh-cut Christmas trees, they are not talking. About twenty-five years ago, when “more was more”, I bought this little tree to be a “theme” tree in my master bedroom. The vision: white lights and blown glass ornaments. That plan was in effect for several years. When my stepdaughter insisted on decorating a Christmas tree each Thanksgiving weekend, she claimed this little one for her room the next 10 years. The decorations were all of her choosing.
After a seven-year storage period, our littlest tree regularly appears with ornaments selected to remind us of our angels Anne, Grandma Sophie, Kathy and beloved cat Shelby. Merry Christmas to all!
