I've managed to do two smallish jigsaw puzzles in the past week. This one is called Nantucket Breeze. Quite easy, but the pictures are so much fun that they are enjoyable.
Then I wanted another, so I got out a favorite. This is only 300 pieces, but it's a little harder than some puzzles of that size. This is the third or fourth time I've done it. It's called Berry Sweet Bunny. I think I got it for under a dollar at a rummage sale.
A little bit of crafting makes me happy. This was my second attempt at a cardboard roll snowflake.
It turned out OK. Not great. I thought I was going to like these more than I do. Maybe I need to do a few more to improve my techniques. You may remember I made a different one last week. I think they would be fine on a large tree from a distance.
And, I've had a tiny Christmas mystery here. At night, out the east windows, there has been a tower of light that I couldn't identify. The only thing I could think of was lights on the Scottville water tower stem, but it didn't seem in quite the right place. In the daytime, I couldn't see anything where this tower is.
So, coming home from my walk today, I stopped at the store for the last of the Christmas groceries and then went in search of this tower. By then it was dusk and it was lit. Ha! Turns out it's a "new" tower behind the internet provider that went in about a half mile from us. And it has a star!
I edited hard today. We are all set for a laid-back Christmas. Maybe Josh will come over, maybe not. I have stuff for a meal, and I plan to do another puzzle. So there!

I like your snowflake. Nice way to recycle the cardboard rolls.
Mystery solved on the lights.
Your snowflakes are great Joan! I wish I had any kind of crafting talent. If I tried that it would look like a Kindergarten kid did it. Lol
Ann- if you look closely, you'll find the mistake I made which is why it was making me nuts!
Dani- Well, the seams in the rolls don't lend themselves to nice outcomes, kindergartner or adult.
Lulu: "Merry Christmas!"
Java Bean: "¡Feliz navidad!"
Charlee: "We don't have jigsaw puzzles to knock around OR ornaments to knock down. Sadly cheated this holiday season, we are."
Java and Charlee- yeah, you guys sure have it rough. Hahahahaha
