"......and here is a storybook picture, so to say.
Clouds of snow and sparkling stars frame a view into a room, where a gentle Angel decorates the Christmas Tree with golden garlands. Slowly the snow is falling and shapes soft sparkling pillows alongside the weathered walls...."
"I was thinking about my past Christmases, as a child, when the belief in the Christ Child was my dearest possession. There was no "Santa" for me here - we had the Christ Child - like a gentle angel in a light blue gown. And when my parents closed all doors to the living room, and darkened it, and I was not n o t NOTTT allowed to peek, listen, watch...then the 24th had arrived with all the excitement and looking forward.
"I was sitting here for hours, and getting into the Season's mood. Whistling Xmas tunes, nibbling the first cookies, tapping my cold feet and smelling the scent of the open fire my hubby just lit.
It was getting darker and the last birds had their supper, Robby, my cat, is snoring (!!) on the windowsill right above the warmth of the heating. Just smell the scent of freshly cut Pine trees, feel the warmth of an open fire and lit candles, have a glass of Mulled Wine and get into the Advent mood..."

The Chatelaine Christmas Mandala Mystery was one of Martina's last designs and for this reason, the usual instructions are missing. Katherine stitched the above making the choices of floss color and beads based on her best interpretation of the chart. She also chose to substitute RG Super Suede for the horse reins and RG Rainbow Angora for the horse manes and tails.
