silliness

Our Gretta, who lives in Brooklyn these days, scampered off to 

Lotta Jansdotter's Open Studio in early November.

I admit, I was wistful and maybe a little bit envious when she told me

all about her visit to Lotta's Brooklyn space.

Maybe I even expressed some longing about possible holiday gifts.

A few days later this delightful bundle of goodies arrived in our

mailbox at the end of our rural driveway.

An early Christmas gift from Gretta.

There was an enclosed note that was just a wee bit bossy.

Something about "strings attached" and "a deadline" and "That's

right missy,  you've got homework"!

Well, I just got a bit spontaneous and a little silly.

Since we are fast approaching the festive season I decided 

to go with a snowy theme and included our animals of choice. 

I found the shadow box on sale, the snowflake buttons and

moon charm are from my stash, and I know where to find little goats

around here. I machine quilted very simple snow drifts

on the Lotta fabric and maybe now I am off the hook with Gretta, eh?
