I love getting ready for Christmas and can’t wait for all the excitement.  I don’t know what you do for Christmas, but ours was getting so “Predictable”.  With that said, I am bringing in some of my childhood get togethers and bring a new twist.  Normally it is dinner, open gifts, and visiting.  This yearContinue reading “Wonderful Time of the Year”

I have been quilting  this flower wall hanging using feathers.  I have been working on this for several days and am almost finished.  Hopefully I will finish tonight or tomorrow.  By finishing this I will have 1 more quilt to quilt then no more UFOs. Oops the blue you see is my marking on theContinue reading “So many Feathers”

I am getting a new built in dishwasher for Christmas.  It has taken 2 week and 2 days to get it installed.  Last week had to change the date due to icy roads and sick elves.  Today Head elf came with the elves to take measurements and then left to build the counter top ofContinue reading “Santa having issue at our house”

Oh my goodness only 22 days till Christmas.  Woke up this morning to a dusting of snow on the ground. It is enough snow to look like some sprinkled powered sugar on the yards and houses.  Roads look clear, but as I watch the cars coming up the hill(I live at the top) they areContinue reading “Dec 3rd”

Today is day 2 of no schools. Sunday brought 5 inches of snow on top of rain and sleet.  The city was a little slow in taking care of the streets and most of the streets were like driving on a ice rink.  Got a lot of sewing done and finished cookbooks of family recipes forContinue reading “Just a short note”

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We did.  This year our son and Daughter in Law hosted the day.  They smoked a ham and baked a turkey.  The day was beautiful and was truly a great day.  A peek at our family.  I am on the right in front of  the bearded guy.  TheContinue reading “How was your Thanksgiving?”

How many of us just go thru the years enjoying the Holiday season (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holidays you celebrate and New Years) knowing what why we celebrate, but sometimes some hit harder.  This has been the case for me this year.  It has been a tough last 6-8 months and it makes me appreciate the importanceContinue reading “Holidays this year”

Today my littlest granddaughter and I made Snowmen ornaments. She got so wrapped up in doing this that we made 14 of them. After this we got paper, scissors, and glue sticks out. She is conquering how to use scissors. A great fun day.

Yesterday was a beautiful day and in the mid 40s.  Last night got cold and woke up to temps in the teens and snow.  As of noon we have 1 inch of snow and it is going to continue with a winter watch until 6pm.  I don’t mind the snow, but the road outside myContinue reading “White Thanksgiving?”

We had about 1″ of snow the other day and the temp. started dropping.  Last night it dropped to 16 degrees and today’s high was 24.  I have been moving some things around to get ready for the Christmas tree to be set up and all my other Christmas goodies out.  I love the ChristmasContinue reading “Cold now”
