Life is busy the past few days. The tree and angels are up, the outside lights are on. Christmas music is playing. Ahh, I love Christmas!!! Today I was quilting and singing with the Christmas carols. It made the afternoon go by so fast. Yesterday was mundane tasks, shopping for things like GROCERIES. And then coming home to put them away. Oh, and here's a picture of our tree with Ruby the quilting dog. We have no star for the top of our tree. Yes, it's a garter. From our daughters wedding. Which her father paid big bucks for, and that is WHY it will be on our tree for many many years. We cannot afford a star after he bid... and bid.... and BID on that garter!! Ah, but we love her dearly! It's cold here, and there is snow in the forecast for the weekend. Good weather for hot toddys I think. I would love to take part in Bonnie at Quiltville's mystery quilt, but I don't think I can fit one more project in! I will have to save all the directions and try after Christmas.
