Christmas Eve!



One more early morning... I have my three girls here at home, all still tucked into their beds sleeping. Picture one very happy mama! They played with the doll house a bit and when I went to take pictures of it for today, it did look a little different.

There seems to be a Christmas party:
The upstairs gang is a loud crowd
More pizza is carried in…
She has been partying since Halloween…
Aunt Lydia has gotten tired and has gone to bed already.

The party downstairs is a lot quieter
(She was going to call the police but was told to hold it together, instead she is turning Nessum Dorma louder and louder not to hear the music from upstairs…)

There is the gossip crowd in the kitchen…
This scene really made my day… if I had arranged everything, it would have looked so dull different, but now that the girls (all getting closer to 30 than 20) had done it, it seems like the house is living its own life; there is a breath of fresh air, a new dimension, more depth and layers, almost as if it is more real.
There was laughter… and giggles and merrymaking. The best sounds of my Christmas.

I wish you all the very best of the season!
Thank you for reading and thank you for your comments!

Wool, as always, with you,
Lene

  5. No matter our age, a doll house always inspires us to play. I bet there was a lot of laughter while your girls partied with the kitties. Merry Christmas!

    Thank you for sharing your Advent, both the quiet and busy parts. I enjoy that you don't just complain about winter and look for the beauty in the snow and ice. Merry Christmas from Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

  20. Greetings from Canada! Dear Lene, I have so enjoyed these December posts. I wish I could get out my own doll house and play but I have 2 large kittens that would try to squeeze into the rooms and make off with the bits and bobs! I loved watching the fun with yours and your woolen cats! Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for the New Year.

    Dear Lena, Happy New Year. Some how I lost my 'favorites' this summer and try as I might I could not remember what words to use to locate you. Then someone on another blog posted a connection and now I've spent my morning catching up with your fall and Christmas. I've enjoyed your posts so much. Wool with you.
