Nativity


My mother used to say that the Nativity sets out there bothered her because they all had Mary kneeling in front of a very large baby. She said that Mary should be sitting down, at least, since she just had a baby. The baby should be a tiny infant. I made her a Nativity set years ago with Mary sitting and holding the baby. She liked that.
I've made a few sets since then, but they take too long. I'm working on a miniature with just the basics.
I just got my statues from Sandra Healy. They are marvelous. I wish I could keep them.

We put up the Nativity set you made for us years ago. The kids argue over who gets to set it up.
Carly said she is taking it when she moves out.
