A Little Christmas Cheer

Over the rainy Thanksgiving weekend, Rob and I put up our Christmas tree and I started sewing some new felt ornaments for it. The cats got busy too—messing things up (lol). On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, as Carl splashed in the water in the tree stand and Becky, Softee, and Frankie napped and bathed themselves on the tree’s red flannel skirt, I sewed and listened over and over to Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the best holiday romance movie ever.

By Monday I had finished a felt pig, a deer, and a penguin. The little pig is probably my favorite because her veil and pearls remind me of Jackie Kennedy—she’s quite elegant. But I think all three characters are pretty cute. I made sure to give everybody a few pink accessories so they’d match the camellia blossoms when we did our photo shoot in the yard on Monday afternoon.
