A view of Alexandria

Dale and I went Friday evening up to the Christmas Market Place in the Masonic Temple overlooking Old Town Alexandria. Here are a couple of pics from the steps looking down on Old Town. It really is pretty during Christmas to see the all the lights in the trees on King Street.

Thanksgiving Makings


(OK Yes I know this is a wee bit out of order. But I am just getting some of these pictures from Dale so hang in there.)

I wanted to take a gift to my mom's and Dales friends Danny and Chrissie for Thanksgiving. I figured it was the least I could do for them opening up their homes to us on Thanksgiving. So Dale and I got up that morning and went walking through the woods for Holly, Evergreens, and Pine Cones. I then made a wreath for my mom and a nice little candle arrangement for Dales friends. I was pretty pleased with the way the wreath turned out :-)








Dale's Birthday Present for Me

Ok so Dale was a bit upset that I had posted pictures of everyone else's gifts but his. Truth is, I wanted to post the pictures of the making of my wonderful gift! And of coarse he had all of the pictures. So here they are...

Dale decided to make me a knife from scratch for my Birthday. This all started when some friends of ours came over for a bonfire and a brother and sister team forged a nice little knife. She was so kean on her knife and I thought it was pretty cool myself. So Dale went to work starting to make mine. He had a vision of using one of his Celtic Crosses in the handle. He was then worried it would look funny with the cross on just one side. Lucky enough, I had a very similar cross and about the same size. So I gave him mine to put in the other side. So the handle is a marriage of my cross and his.

It turned out simply amazing! I don't think I have ever had a guy make ME something. I am always knitting for others. So this truly truly means allot to me. Thank you love!
