Always love to hear the story again...
Children's pageants.... favorite activity of the season. 


Especially when grandchildren are involved. 


Joseph and Mary (my little Emerson) 





Big enough for 
Hanging ornaments from the Christmas story.
And so excited to help.


My family is growing..... so the
Dining room has been turned into a cozy room while 
we ate our Christmas Eve Nachos in the living room. 
My favorite spot this season....  Remember

Believe in Jesus .... No other name can save you. 





Still gathering thoughts .
Just can't put it all back in the box quite yet. 



Merry Christmas! 



May you find comfort and Joy 
everyday in the Savior's love. 

Happy New Year
From my house... 
 Where the lights will be twinkling for 
a few more days...
to yours!

Something new, something Blue : )




If there could be a winter without sick bugs floating around.... perhaps I would be a lover of Winter.

Since I am already on cold # 2 since November I think it is going to be a long winter... BOOO.

Any way I have done a little selfish sewing to cheer me.   Not a lot of energy for Christmas decorating so  I took a couple of days to finish this.   This frame had a picture in it that I really didn't care for and I have been wanting to switch it up  for a while.   It will be perfect though out the year with my Americana decor.   Size of quilt is 10 inches.  Blocks are 1 inch.   Scrap Happy Here!





Pam Buda initiated a sew- a - long and I decided to jump on board.... though I have modified the original design to work with my frame.   My little "Tucker" has been tucked in a frame.

Pam's final patchwork design can be viewed here if you want to compare.

I'm so excited to have a new little quilt to decorate with!   Now the rest of my Christmas sewing is calling my name.   Lots to do before Dec 25.  Elves should apply for work here ASAP!
