Remember Dolly Parton's song about the coat of many colors that her mother made for her? Well, Fio's mother beat her to it way back in WWII when she made a dress out of Daddy's tennis flannels and embroidered it with knitting yarn so that your girl could have a beautiful dress for the Christmas Eve church service.
Speaking of Christmas, your girl is trying a new approach to her Christmas cards--putting zig-zagging gold strings across them and using different colors to highlight the kite pattern. It may well flop, but she'll still have time to concoct a new scheme.
Welcome to a new day. Fiorella's newspaper is missing in action again. GRRRRR!
Hey, hey, hey--you should see what Fio has done to two of her doors, the one for her crowded closet and the one to her room. She grabbed her stack of green paper and cut out several mistletoe designs, then searched for her hole cutter and cut several mistletoe berries out of red paper. It took most of the day so your girl probably won't be making any more mistletoe decorations this year. Besides, now she has to tackle the miracle of getting her own Christmas cards ready. As she's already said, she knows what she wants to do, but will need someone who can spare the time to drive her from store to store looking for multi-color foils.
Christmas is a jolly season--lots of singing and laughter. Fio can still manage the laughter, but an essential tremor has just about muted her singing-wise.😢
