Dorothy the Lady Woodcarver a Christmas Tale

Posted on 8:54 AM by hill wilf



                                                       A Christmas Tale



Once upon a time there lived in the middle of a city a magical place where a woodcarver lived. You would never know a Lady woodcarver lived there until you saw the open gate. Now every now and then this gate was left open for a primitive rug hooker to find her way to the lady woodcarvers home. The funny primitive rughooker wondered what was happening in the woodcarvers home at Christmas time.

                                                               A little piece of heaven in a home








  As the funny little rug hooker walked in the yard holding her finished rug tight ready to show her rolled up sheep rug to Dorothy she noticed the subtle changes in Dorothy the woodcarvers yard .December rains had made every plant glisten and shine. There might not be snow in this woodcarvers home at Christmas but there was a crispness in the air and a feeling of Christmas Eve soon.
The home and Dorothy were ready for Christmas and the many visitors that would walk thru the gate during this Christmas Season.
                                                                      Knock knock

Dorothy welcomes her hooker friend to share a cup of hot tea and listen to soft music while munching on cookies. Follow this rug hooker as she visits a friend who opens the door to many friends and family with a smile and a laugh and leads you to a truly special home that has you sitting sharing ideas and friendship through out the year.
Dorothy carved these wonderful Angels 


Little Angel Dolls Dorothy made



Dorothy decorates simply with little subtle changes of greens
and oh yes she does love to keep her pumpkins!


                                                               Another sweet carving she made

                                                                       Old jug
 
 
                                                        a part of a friends sampler
 
                                               Dorothy made the log cabin but
                                               this carving is a carving she bought

I hope you enjoyed a Lady woodcarvers Christmas.

 A Christmas home is  magical
and special whenever you express with your own hands
and heart pieces of yourself.
