In Bloom…
Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.
We had friends over and made stew and an apple crostata, drank wine, played Risk and watched one really really really scary movie. We got only about a half dozen knocks on the door from little trick-or-treaters, but they were traveling in large groups this year - I hardly have any candy left. All in all a very enjoyable night!
I can’t believe it’s that time of year again - my orchids are all in bloom. I must be treating them well, as they are loaded with blossoms, pressed up against the windows to gather the light.

Christmas Cactus
Can you believe that it’s November already? Neither can I.
Thank you to all the wonderful people who visited my shop this past month. I’m thrilled that so many of my needlebooks and taskets will be given as holiday gifts this year.
I’ve added my hand embroidered ornaments to the shop now. If you’re looking to decorate your tree with something made by a real person, topping your gifts with something that can’t be bought in a mall or giving friends a very special handmade gift, I hope you’ll consider these ornaments that I’ve lovingly made. : )
Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
Jenn : )

Those flowers are gorgeous! At the craft fair I did today there was a woman selling orchids. They were so tempting, but I didn’t buy one!
The ornaments are adorable too!

What beautiful plants, it is so nice to have something flowering at this time of year. Your little snowmen are just so sweet, you did a wonderful job on them.

Wow, I’m super impressed with your orchid. Mine completely died off and is nothing but big leaves.

Oooh, such beautiful plants, especially the orchid! I just noticed tiny tiny buds on my Christmas Cactus, though I don’t know if I’ll be able to take good enough care of it that it’ll actually bloom.
Oh man, November? When did that happen??
