The excitement of the holiday season begins the moment

the Special Day's parade sails on by.

With the appearance of old Saint Nick on the tail

end of that caravan,

kids and adults alike start preparing for

the arrival of Christmas.
To help mark the days and commence the countdown,

Christmas gifts are popular this time of year.

Here's how you can put your own creative spin on the concept,

plus incorporate the idea of hanging stockings into the design.
Some fun crafts are based on an idea presented

by Fun Magazines and utilizes stray socks,

mittens or pieces of scrap holiday fabric you may have on hand.

Fortunately, there are many easy ways a busy parent

(or grandparent, aunt or uncle) can engage children

in creative fun right at home.

And For you? Try Crochet!

Like me...

I love to peruse leaflets every so often but

have yet to buy anything; however,

I've got plenty of items saved in my Favorites area.

I'm always amazed at the creativity out there!

I discovered these little crocheted items about a month ago

and have been thinking about them ever since.

They also make sweet flowers!

And a LOT of different colors to choose from.

Guess what I was going to try for my friends,

lace table napkins and some lavender bags,

...finally? I hope.

As much as I wish I was more optimistic about that,

I’m hopeful nonetheless.

Up to you!

Do you like colorful laces?

Here I posted and wanted to share some crochet patterns and graphics.

Daisies, round patterns, grapes and lace curtains.

Shell design

which can be used as edging or part of a crochet pattern.

TREND ACCESSORIES

Nowadays young girls prefer crocheted accessories.

These earrings are for my dear daughters...

They like to wear colored flowers and

also fruits like some cherries.

Do you think to crochet one for yourself ???

These are all for

my dear Angels...

HERE two sisters are having FUN !

Even though they are all grown up, I still sometimes look at them

and see them as cute little girls smiling from ear to ear.

NOW THEY'RE ATTENDING UNIVERSITIES :)

I'd shot a few more photos that week in the past.

Their most serious food incident was eating cake!

I was not expecting any of my photos to be scanned,

but now thinking to take old pictures

in their frames and try to post my page.
Also remembered, my sewing machine had arrived thatday!

I'd got some fabric and thread at Fabrics

when I was in Antalya over the weekend.

YES

that present was a huge step for me!

FASHION WORLD & FLOWERS

DESIGNERS LIKE TO USE WHITE EVERYTIME !

Accessories are the opportunity or right to use something...

Mother of pearl features heavily on clothing and

accessories this season.

It is also made up in seasonal low cost necklaces and bangles.

Another affordable material being used is turquoise.
These ethnic inspired necklaces come from India and

I think they would also

look wonderful on large women with presence.

FIND THE TRUE MEANING OF COLOURED FLOWERS
By Marc Lindsay
Colour Red: love. They can also carry connotations
of respect, and a promise of courage for trials to be faced in the future.
Pink: admiration and love in its earliest stages.
A very pale pink, particularly in a carnation, can mean sympathy,
whereas the darker shades tend to imply gracefulness
and the admission that one has fallen in love.
Yellow: joy. They can also mean a generally happy,
excitable person who is well-loved, although some books record
this rose as a rose of unsteady affections.
White: innocence. They are also associated with humility, awe of the lover,
a respect for the purity of the lover and is also a rose of secrecy and silently
recognised affection (they could therefore be used as anonymous
deliveries to an office or workplace).
Orange: enthusiasm and lust for life. An energetic or eccentric lover
would probably appreciate the vibrant colours, as this is the
sort of personality denoted by the shade.
Dark red or burgundy: passion and recognition of intensity and beauty.
Personal Attachments

Some flowers that should not be given to a lover unless

there is a personal attachment to the species:
Begonia: Be careful of my affections

Purple Carnation: Capriciousness

Striped Carnation: a refusal of a lovers attentions

Yellow Carnation: rejectionCyclamen: goodbye forever

Geranium: I am making a mistake

Hydrangea: heartlessness

Larkspur (pink): ficklenessLotus: an estranged lover

Marigold: Jealousy, grief

Snapdragon: an admission of deceit
Size and Number of Roses Rosebuds are generally given to younger,
or more innocent lovers. They can also be used as the

first confession of love,
although white rosebuds indicate an affection that the suit
or cannot declare openly because the lover is too young or innocent.
A single rose indicates the simple message I love you.
A bunch of roses represents gratitude or great admiration for the recipient.
Two roses with their stems twisted together suggest engagement;
this symbol was sometimes used as a subtle hint before

a proposal of marriage. A thornless rose indicates love at first sight.
