Vow – it’s Monday and the Christmas is almost on the door!!!
I see in the news that many countries have problems with the snow, airports are closed and roads are full of snow…and it’s snowing more and more all the time! I do hope that everything is getting normal soon, so that all those people who likes to travel somewhere in Christmas time, can get to their destinations!
Here in Crete we are preparing our Christmas with WARM SUNSHINE !!!
In summer time every where is quite dry and only the flowers and plants we are watering, can grow. In winter time it’s green every where, perhaps not so many flowers before spring – but lots of green! I think we should cut the grass before Christmas…
I have today new model to show my scarf! I know many friends of mine like so much pigs!
Smile!!! If you love pigs and like to smile, look my earlier post with pigs!
I wish our pig would have a full stomach!
Now it’s getting cloudy but till now the day was so warm and sunny. I was walking around in the garden with my friends…
We went to see how warm it is really…
We met the pig again…
Sorry…I lost a little bit my theme…the scarf…but the pigs are just so sweet!!!
I was ment to show that I have finished my scarf from left overs of Nero’s Blanket!
Yesterday was a day with mixed feelings…we were waiting some people to come and didn’t know if they come or not and when…and I just couldn’t concentrate well to do something. Finally I tought to give a try for trees I had in my mind for a while. That was a perfect job…I had so much fun to make them!
When I saw these in Terri’s blog, I thought they look easy enough and would be great for my quilt ‘Finnish Forest’.
It wasn’t so easy – not at least for the first one…
The second one is much better.
I’m making these trees with small patches, so it takes time, but I don’t mind because I enjoy to make ‘a puzzle’! Also I don’t try to make all of them exactly the same and perfect. In the nature all the trees are different so in my quilt they can be a little bit different, too.
The quilt ’Finnish Forest’ is going to have also this kind of blocks…
Hi Teje…..pigs my favourites!!! I loved to see that pig in your scarf. He would need it here at the moment, our “high” for today was -4oc in Surrey and more snow is due to fall tonight. It is lovely to see your warm sunshine, thank you for sharing it!
Enjoy these last few days until the magic of Christmas day.
Love Jane x
Oh it’s so nice to see some SUN!It’s so very dark and snowy here in the UK today, so cold too! Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog
I love the colours of that blue scarf and your patchwork looks such fun! xx
Hello Teje! I love your scarf – especially being modelled by the cute pig! – and the Finnish forest quilt is going to be fabulous – the blocks look so lovely, and it’s much more interesting to make them all slightly different. I look forward to seeing it completed – it will be a nice peaceful project to stitch. I love your temperature there too! We could do with a little of that warmth here – it’s freezing!!
Enjoy the countdown to Christmas. Helen x
Hello Dear. I love scarf, the colours are lovely.
Much love to you and your furry friends.

Hi Teje, love your cosy scarf with all Nero’s rug colours…the colours of the sea and sand…beautiful. The lttle trees are wonderful too, especially being all different sizes like a real forest. My youngest son has just been appointed head chef in a new restaurant, we are pleased with him getting a new job. What kind of restaurant did you have?
Hi
I was looking forward to seeing the Finish Forest after you had teased me with a comment – they are lovely!!!
Merry Christmas if I’m not in contact with you before then!

Thank you for the dose of warm sunshine and beautiful flower. It’s snowing here now! I love your new scarf, especially modeled by the now famous pig.
Love love love your tree blocks! Those plaids look fabulous framing the trees. The plaid log cabins are going to be so fun added to your Finish Forest. You gotta have a couple wonky trees in the forest, don’t you. Enjoy the puzzle!
Dear Terri,
Thank you for your lovely words! I do enjoy ‘puzzling’ with the patches! How nice there is coming lazy Christmas days and I can continue with the trees!
Love Teje

I did enjoy the pig! So sweet and your scarf is very pretty. I like your finnish trees, think it will be a beautiful quilt. i haven’t been to Finland, but I imagine the forest is full of white birch trees?
