She has started smiling a lot. She has the best smile.
Do you think she has her Pa wrapped around her little finger?
Baby, it's cold outside!
We got ice overnight! You can't see it in the yard but this is a shot of my driveway. And that's as close to outside as I'm getting!I don't think anything else is going to fall but temps are not getting out of the twenties so it's not going to melt. Took this through the side door. Nothing moving out there. I've only seen two cars out so far.Hope y'all are keeping warm!
It's past time that I pop in and say Happy New Year!
It's also past time that I take down my limited Christmas decorations.
I'm working on taking down what is inside today and hubby is planning to do the outside this weekend, if the weather allows. It's super windy right now and we are expecting 'winter weather' over the weekend. At the very least, the lights will get unplugged.
There are two new, non hand made, ornaments that were added
and they are the best ones!
I have a few pictures from Christmas day but I'll share those later so this doesn't get too long.
Can't leave without a picture of baby girl.That's it from here for today -
time to get busy!
Made this quilt for Tyler. It's huge! It was a bugger to quilt on my machine but I got it done. I just used a 10' square of the focus fabric (game controllers) and made 4 patches out of various black/grey/white prints. No rhyme or reason to them, just cut and sewed together. I hope he enjoys it!
Merry Christmas!
I have a few finishes I can show now.
Well, this one is mine and I could have shown it anytime but after I finished it I put it away an didn't get a picture.Cookie Exchange By Hands on Design. This was a mystery stitch-a-long in 2021 (I think?). I'm pretty sure I used everything as listed on the chart. I didn't finish mine until this fall. No idea why but it's super cute and sitting on the counter in my kitchen.
We have a new November birthday on the calendar!
Welcome Abigail!
Abigail arrived 10 days ago and it's hard to remember life without her.
Hubby and I were able to spend the first eight days with her (and mommy, daddy and big brother!)
Nothing like watching your child become a parent. Even though it's a figure it out as you go along, he is doing great!
Between the four of us, we took nearly 200 pictures over the first eight days and mommy has been sending new ones frequently - so I still have lots to share!
Since I was mid season change over when we threw stuff in a bag to head to the hospital my, house is a disaster (totally worth it). There are still a few rouge pumpkins hanging out and I haven't even started putting out Christmas decor. It may be minimal this year but that's okay - we have already received our gift.
Counting the minutes until we see her again!
