Into Vivian's Christmas stocking...
I have a lot of ideas swirling around in my head...
Lets hope my sewing skills can take me where I want to go....
I made myself, boyfriend and the kids stockings 30 some odd years ago, but I could not get the same quilted red gingham...
I am hoping to perhaps put a new twist on her stocking...
Wish me luck!!!
This is a sneak peek at my centrepiece...
Not very traditional for this time of year...
But...hey...roses are always fabulous...right?
Having some dear friends in for dinner this evening...
The menu is not very traditional either...
But....very delicious....
Took a short break form cleaning to prepare this post...
The menu is:Appetizers:
Fresh Spicy Ceasars to begin...

HUGE Shrimp and Horseradish sauce...
Grapes....Havarti Cheese...assorted olives and pickles...

Greek Avacado Tomato Salad with Goat Cheese...
Summer Fresh Pasta...so delicious...tons of garlic...and fresh
Basil and tomato...zuccinni and sausage...
Dessert:
My famous Lemon Banana Blueberry Loaf with fresh fruit, yogurt
