Happy holidays! I just wanted to take a moment and wish you all a wonderful holiday season. I don't care what you celebrate, who you celebrate or if you celebrate , I just care that you enjoy every minute of every day.
I wish you all the happiness in the world my dear friends and more joy then you think you can handle! I have always believed life is about living through terrible lows, and celebrating mind numbing highs. Thank you for being there through the sadness and the euphoria!
The past week has been busy, but once again I will catch up with your blogs over the holidays. I have not worked much on my miniatures, but the kitchen chairs are done
Last week I started experimenting on another project for the manor, but you will have to wait until 2014 to see it.
I send you all the biggest hug I can manage and as always I wish you all the best.
Love to all and happy holidays,
Giac
What BEAUTIFUL rooms! I love the jade green too.

ReplyDeleteHello Giac! Your dining room photo LOOKS FABULOUS! I totally mistook it for a Real Life dining room; well done my friend! I think that you made a good judgement call on the table top as it is Now in perfect harmony with the chair upholstery. All of the flatware, stemware and china look so elegant against it! And I LOVE the chandelier hanging above it! The kitchen chairs also turned out exceptionally well too! I just LOVE a Make-over and the Countess must be ever so pleased that she has You for her on call, designer! :D
ReplyDeleteAll the very best of the Christmas Season cooking up a storm in your new RL kitchen, and have a Knock Out, New Years with those you love!

Espero con entusiasmo tus nuevos trabajos. Un gran abrazo.

ReplyDeleteemily
First I have to say I was a little embarrassed to myself. At first I couldn't tell if that was your real life dining room or a mini! LOL! I am so glad you cleared that up for me.
ReplyDeleteNow I remember you making those tables but put all together it looks amazing! This year I bought a Wii so we will have another dimension to our gathering.
I pray that you and yours find this holiday season filled with such loving memories even an album could not contain them!
Major hugs
Wow! your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou too have a very Merry Christmas.

Dear Gaic,
ReplyDeletewhat a year you have had! I'm so pleased for you that everything has turned out okay, getting to the end of such a year is a relief. I remember the Queens speech the year Diana died and the palace caught fire, she called it an Annus horribilis and there have definitely been years I have labelled as such. The New Year will bring a fresh start an I hope it brings you much joy and happiness. Your dinning room looks wonderful and I share your sentiments about it being the centre of the family.
Huge Christmas hugs and kisses to you!

Giac you fooled me until I looked really close at that Dining room! I can just see you and your siblings cutting up while your Mom gives you the evil eye (if it were me I'd threaten you guys with Krampus, that's the problem with kids today too many Elf on the shelf and not enough Krampus..sorry I forgot my pill this morning)
ReplyDeletethe kitchen chairs turned out well and fit right in, I can't wait to see what the floor is going to look like
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Love
Marisa
Can I add anything to the above comments regarding the dining room? I think not. I too am baffled and thought it was the real deal. But I do love your sentiment on the holiday season and about life. Thank you for putting it in words so well.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a most abundant new Year!
Veronique
Una mesa espectacular. Mis mejores deseos para ti y toda tu familia.
ReplyDeleteBesos:-)
Merry Christmas to you and your dear ones - and best wishes for 2014! May it be for you especially full of time for working on miniatures... Okay, I admit it, that wish's addition is a little selfish because I always love to see what you do because it always takes my breath away. Your dining room looks like a photograph of a real room - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Birgit

Dear Giac,
ReplyDeleteI resurface from one of my usual periods of absence, but I'm sure you can understand without much explanation: I also have elderly mom, and I know well what concerns involves ...
I am only sorry not to have known before your great concern for her health, but I'm happy to know that in the meantime, the situation has improved.
I find it amazing that you found the time to do everything you do: you have also prepared the fabulous table in the Manor for Christmas, wow!
Thank you for thinking of me and writing to me, you are a dear friend and I hope one day to feel like you are sending a tangible sign, as I promised :-)
Meanwhile, an affectionate greeting of Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family :-)
Flora
Dear Giac, Happy New Year!!

Dear Giac, Christmas is over and all is packed away for another year. How undressed and bare it seems at first.
