Old Ornaments

This is an old ornament that hung on our tree when I was a child. Bringing back many memories.

Smoky Mountain Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in the Smoky Mountains with my 2 daughters and their families. We stayed in this lovely cabin. The weather was great. Warm days and cool nights. Campfires and smores, a little hiking and some shopping. Of course we had a great turkey dinner on Thursday, my son in law made the turkey and the rest of us pitched in for the rest of the dinner and clean up. Then on Friday we visited Paula Deen's Kitchen in Cherokee. Two big dinners in a row, I'm afraid to even step on the scale!Gatlinburg was all decked out for Christmas.The kids got in some fishing.The Polar Express to the North Pole was a hit.
Very nice get-away. Missed Neal and his family. Hoping they can join us next year.

Frustrated

I did manage to get Grady and Kendall's costumes done for Halloween. Here are Woody and Jessie. They were so cute!!

I'm on a cleaning out the closets jag. Such a frustrating job. When you live in a small house all you do is move stuff from one room to another. My guest room closet is stashed to the brim with scrap booking supplies, Christmas decorations and lots and lots of photos. It is looking better, I am throwing away a lot of junk that I have been holding onto for one reason or another but it is a time consuming proces

It Has Been Awhile

Wow, how time flies. Just finished the costumes for two of the grand kids. They will be Jessie and Woodie from Toy Story this year. Cute, cute. Trying to finish up Happy hauntings quilt before I start anything else and then onto finishing a couple of Christmas quilts.

A Finish and More to Quilt

Eventide is finished. Did a little continuous curve and some feathers. I am happy with the results and very happy that it is finished!

Red Velvet made with Bliss. Another top added to the needs to be quilted pile.

And Goosetracks in the Pumpkins. I started this one at retreat last fall and just finished it up this month. Also going into the to be quilted pile. I need to order a roll of batting and get busy!

Arlena - Dancer

Arlena is my grand daughter that lives in Indiana. Arlena and Kendall are 2 months apart, I posted Kendall's dance picture earlier. Kendall loved the recital -

from what I understand Arlena would rather be doing this.Such a cutie!
