Oh My ...where have I been?

Ponytail toque
It is that time of year.....get togethers, guild parties and countless shopping trips to finish up the Christmas shopping. Yes that is what has been happening. But now I can say the baking is baked, the tree and house are decorated, presents bought and wrapped and with the exception of meals that need to be cooked, I am ready for this weekend.
"Frozen" characters and pinwheels
Over the past few weeks I have been knitting mostly but have managed to get a small quilt done and I have worked on my embroidery too.I am on the last block of the embroidery then I can put the quilt together. Maybe it will be done for this winter....I think I am on my third winter?!?! The small quilt is for charity. A "friend" not sure who(one of my knitting buddies) left some fabric at my house one day. And by left I mean they stuffed some in a boot and tossed the rest in my broom closet.They are not owning up to their mischief but regardless I use it and add more of my own and made this quilt. I have a second one but it isn't finished.                         Picture is a little dark, guess the Christmas tree needs more lights.
this morning
Winter is here, there is no doubt. It was later coming this year but is making up for lost time. Last week I think it snowed every day and as I am writing this tonight, it is snowing and blowing outside. I guess that pretty pink sky this morning was right....sailors take warning!!

Now I have time to catch up on Bonnie Hunter's mystery. I did the first clue and then fell behind with all the preparations but now I can sew and hopefully time will fly to the weekend and when my daughter comes home for the holidays. I am making dinner for my side of the family on Boxing day so that gives us a few days to catch up face to face.

With so much time between posts, I will try for another one this week but not sure that will happen.
So I will wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Thanks for following along and bearing with this relatively newbie blogger!!!

You just never know!

 The other day a friend texted me and asked if I recognized the photo she sent me. It was a photo of a quilt, one that I had made last year ...
