What a pretty bird! It looks very young and unsure of itself. Or is it impossible for birds to show that?

I think it's an adult bird.. At least it's not very young. I think it was mostly confused by me standing there, looking at it with one big eye..

I'll remove this if someone finds it offensive.. I don't know why anyone would, but if someone does.. *nod* A bit of manipulation involved, I have to admit.
we never were, 'twas all in your mind i thought you were something i'll never find so i'm growing wings and closing my mind 'cause it's easier to leave than to be left behind

Who was your model? She's extremely expressive. My sister keeps trying to use me as a model for her art projects but I don't photograph that well .
You take such great photos . |

It's me. So thank you!
Hehe, it's good if your sister can use you as a model.. Use your family, if you can.

Lovely pictures! Thank you for sharing The tree makes your home look very cozy.
Is the woman with the cute dog you? And the mushroom-like food, what is that? It looks very tasty... *imagines what it must taste like* Very nice Let me see if I can upload my pics. The table looked very classy. Oh, the battery just gave out, I'll try again in an hour or so (I think I might be using too many smileys in my posts... )

The cute dog is Abigail, and her mother is a neighbor of mine. I just knit the sweater. Came out well, though.
The mushroom food is a variant on a traditional Christmas cake, called a "buche noel". It's a rolled sponge cake decorated to look like a log. Mine was a yellow type cake (usually it's all chocolate, or chocolate and hazelnut) with a whipped cream and chocolate ganache filling, covered with more chocolate ganache (that's the part that's sculpted to look like bark), chocolate molded leaves and meringue mushrooms (and shelf fungus). There are also sugar glazed fruits on the platter next...very popular, lol. I always get my smiley count rejected, too.

That explanation makes my mouth water... Okay, so here goes.
Our dog, Binkie, me, our cute little tree (decorated by me 'cause no-one elses wanted to have a tree) and baby Jesus with his parents and the Wise etc. The table without the food (except for the broccolo-potato muffins) The table with food on it. Doesn't it look classy?

It's glorious, and so are you. No wonder you post in the music thread, lol. That's some collection, over there.
I think Binky needs a sweater. lol Did your sister eat the broccoli? I had to postpone Christmas dinner...but it's okay. My forethought had provided pizza during the rigors of Christmas Eve, and I was unwell in the afternoon, so people ate leftovers and we have a 'rain check". Is there a Dutch equivalent to that term?

And it isn't even my collection my collection is almost completely digital.
Binkie doesn't mind if you dress him up, we used to do it all the time. We even tied a mermaidtail to his tail once... he kept walking with his tail between his legs without trying to get it off. He is such a sweet pushover. My sister took one bite and then decided it tasted too much like broccoli after all. In all honestly: I didn't finish it either. It just tasted... wrong. It wasn't broccoli, but it wasn't a muffin either... Are you okay now? I'll make you hot lemonjuice with honey in the Teacup: that makes everyone feel better! (unless you don't like lemon... ) I can't think of a Dutch equivalent of "rain check" at the moment. I think we just say that we'll do it some other time, we have to "catch it up"(inhalen) later .

I'm fine, it was temporary. Betrayed by my tomato juice, I think.
I take it as a warning not to mix health and holiday foods.

I met her the day she came home. What a bitty girl. And she was the new one in a house that lost a real sweetie the year before, so we were all happy to see a new baby in the house. But the family is so nice, and I've been saving that pattern for just such an occasion. Haven't done a dog sweater in years, but I think I'll be adding it.
Drafty near the floor.
