Craziness
I am terribly sorry it has been so long since my last post.
Life just seemed to open up and swallow me!!
I have been compiling all the class information for our homeschool co-op.
The classes were announced earlier this week, so I was hustling to get all the proofing and last minute changes done. In the midst of working on all the co-op stuff my computer developed a BAD virus and had to be carried out on a stretcher. They were not able to delete the virus, so they had to reconfigure my 'puter. I am back online now and it feels good!!! Due to my computer "crashing" I was inspired(funny how having strangers in your house "inspires" you!!!)to clean my home office.
There was just a small path from the door to the desk, but now you can actually walk without knocking stuff down and causing a major earthquake.
I am still working on organizing the craft side of the room so please be patient with me!!

Quilt Tradition
My mom started a tradition when I was little of making and giving quilts for Christmas. I also have started this and the kids (all 2 of them!! LOL) on my husbands side all get a quilt. They don't get one every year, but every few years after they wear out or the kids have outgrown that size. This year was Jessica's turn. I bought the fabric before Thanksgiving but didn't get the quilt finished until 1 hour before they arrived for Christmas!! Silly me.
Here are pics of the finished quilt.
The front of the quilt.
The Backing.
Jessica's dad enjoying the quilt!!

My Frugal Christmas
I have tried really hard this year to not spend a lot of money on gifts, and to just use the things I already have. So I looked around to see what I could see.
#1 3 no longer needed sweaters. 1 acrylic(cream) and 2 wool (which I felted)
#2 1 Hat pattern at my mom's house.
I think they turned out pretty amazing!!
(I did purchase the lace/ribbon trim on the cream hat, the pearls I already had on hand.)
