Well I am very proud of my mother in law. She is 82 today and since she was a little girl learn from her mother how to make these glorious curtains using one small needle and fine cotton. Oh I admire her a lot.

With the time approaching let’s celebrate the coming of the new year.
Post one image on December 25th with a Xmas wish.
Post a second image on January the 1st 2010 and include a smile with yourself in this picture!
Get your mind working on this idea am3, tell your friends about it.
See you there, all the best, Dimitrios from Athens Greece.
