And then when I looked out the window this evening, I realized that art certainly does imitate life (and visa versa) and made it into a photo opportunity!<br />Have not been keeping up with the blog since I am so active on flickr. And then, I dabbled a bit on facebook this spring. I think I am mainly a flickr gal, since I love speaking with photos, and often find writing much more of a challenge!

I have alot of decorations up, the Christmas mugs and plates out, and the tree up and lit. Didn't have time to decorate the tree yet, so that will have to wait! Love the lights!

We enjoyed time with friends, but sorely missed not being with family. I am tickled pink that we got our tree set up early this year, and went to work this morning putting it to use for some fabulous bokeh! Oh,... and I pretended that it was snowing just to put me in the mood while I was listening to 'White Christmas' and other old Christmas faves. Did you know that on Pandora Radio, that you can set up your own channel with 'seed' songs and artists,... so I set up a Christmas channel with seeds such as "Burl Ives - Holiday", "Danny Kaye - Holiday", "Bing Crosby - Holiday", "Ella Fitzgerald - Holiday",... well you certainly get the idea of what I am listening to when I am not dancing around to Bob Dylan's Santa song!Sew Fab Marthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238001122979359175noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081056962167260904.post-44362304911322124642009-11-28T15:29:00.001-08:002009-11-28T15:29:11.240-08:00Bob Dylan - Must Be Santa<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/qVs6X9yIM_k' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/qVs6X9yIM_k'/></object></p><p>Hope this gets you up and dancing and in the Christmas mood!</p></div>Sew Fab Marthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238001122979359175noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081056962167260904.post-41598515797593152262009-09-25T16:30:00.000-07:002009-09-25T16:32:46.610-07:00I think this coffee break is almost over!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlp8qBLXjb-KXzHE8P7-ku1M0GKr2airFvmZbX8nMY1X1c2qKxqR4A16MI_IJntVcnCLW5fj0SmD5p-l0MmrwsxI9bQyOisgUBh_EsfmMMCTbBmbz86lyZkmPIafl0IaUQ2fozTrd7dGOO/s1600-h/image.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 333px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385551929093752354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlp8qBLXjb-KXzHE8P7-ku1M0GKr2airFvmZbX8nMY1X1c2qKxqR4A16MI_IJntVcnCLW5fj0SmD5p-l0MmrwsxI9bQyOisgUBh_EsfmMMCTbBmbz86lyZkmPIafl0IaUQ2fozTrd7dGOO/s400/image.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>Sew Fab Marthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01238001122979359175noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081056962167260904.post-70551857049996261032009-09-06T10:20:00.000-07:002009-09-06T10:49:01.792-07:00Window to my world<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxz04UvxNnJG5RCR1pXGg0G8-Zu-18b_UWGprZgU9IoJk7I8ZsVK3ZqrfJHsBL88samn1TinJ0rA3YZtObKFJeictI8QVGLTv5kqf0n17MEsOB4regq7rHr1VzzIYQyXlRXNDgtIah6kE/s1600-h/DSC_1823e.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 365px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378412597404333954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxz04UvxNnJG5RCR1pXGg0G8-Zu-18b_UWGprZgU9IoJk7I8ZsVK3ZqrfJHsBL88samn1TinJ0rA3YZtObKFJeictI8QVGLTv5kqf0n17MEsOB4regq7rHr1VzzIYQyXlRXNDgtIah6kE/s400/DSC_1823e.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Best therapy I have had in a long time was the visit from these two sweet girls!
