Last 2018 I Like Thursday

A momentous week - Christ is Born! We have 9

days left to celebrate Christmas.  How will you be celebrating them?  I'm keeping up the various creche we have around the house.  Bringing out the panettone to have with tea.  Serving tamales one day this week for dinner.  Admiring last year's poinsettias now growing in the garden -and they bloomed for the Holiday! Answering Christmas letters.  Changing my tree quilt for the nativity scene.

Brought out some Christmas quilts.  Laid out some table toppers.

Enjoyed the family Christmas morns around the country - he's in CO.

Started back to quilting - made a sample block of a kit I want to start in 2019

This used scraps - not the color scheme of the quilt. Think it's going to work out.

How was your week?  Hope you are warm and dry and enjoying the season.  I'm linking to Lee Anna's I Like Thursdays. Visit and see what others had done to fill their days. PS - my brother is in rehab now for PT. We hope he gets to go home soon.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for him.

After Christmas Dinner

We're Watching:

Merry Christmas!

Life is hectic here as in many households. I'm sorry I haven't posted for a while, but a family member's accident has happened and is taking time for prayer and visiting and worrying.  It's hardest on my Mom.  My younger brother was hit by a car in a pedestrian walkway, and it resulted in brain trauma. He didn't sustain any broken bones, has two lesions on his brain and was hit from behind. The driver stopped, called 911, and stayed till the police and ambulance arrived.  He's in rehab now and we are very grateful he didn't have to have surgery. Praise God.  We hope he will be home in the next week or so. So much can change in an instant.

I've been doing some hand stitching as I wait in rooms and for answers. The latest donut for my Bliss project is done.

And I've been quilting a bit here and there as I have time.  My 16 year old grandson came over and between us we got the Christmas decoration out of the tall closet and up in the various rooms.  I like to put some decorations in each room even if it's only a basket of Christmas balls. Tomorrow cookies with my other grandson.

Here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas and God's blessings in the coming New Year.
