I am heading down to the finish line with these *&^%
blankets I’ve been making (don’t mind the cursing – I’ve mostly enjoyed the
process this year). Today I finished the last square pattern for two of the
blankets (the ones that are Christmas gifts), and I got one of them labeled
& ready to join together. Expect to see pictures next week!

Square.
I went to watch Sue’s choir’s cantata. They did a GREAT job –
it was a wonderful performance. I also enjoyed sitting in the balcony with my
dad.
And here is the reason for the snow shovel – we got about 8
inches of icy snow today (Sunday).
And I already know that I don’t have to go
to work tomorrow. Woo hoo! What’s the weather like where you are?
YOU HAVE ALL THE SNOW!
ReplyDelete(we don't have a single flake!)
I have to say--those are the most arresting shepherds I have ever seen. Their faces are...captivating. They remind me of the sculptures of the petitioners in the Cleveland Museum of Art. Incredible.
Aren't they thought? Tom Clark was very "faddish" back in the day, but he really was talented.
Deletecold and wet over the weekend but cold and sunny today. on a warming trend.
ReplyDeleteWe got the wet after the snow - but today was GLORIOUS!
DeleteWe got snow, too. Staying in today. :/
ReplyDeleteYour tree and decorations are so pretty.
I used to make afghans for Christmas presents. They take a while, but people always love getting them. I still have one from the seventies that I curl up with. Still keeps me warm.
When a girl's got a coupon, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
I don't think I'll do this again for Christmas presents (well, and Dr. M would like me to just stop the blanket making business entirely - too stressful!). But I think I'd enjoy it if I didn't have a deadline. We'll see.
DeleteOops! That was me... up there, Jams. BB
ReplyDeleteI know who you are! :)
DeleteNearing 60 under sunny skies here, suckers! Thanks for the photo of the books - it's splendiferous! And that Dr. M is a real kidder with his early Christmas gift, isn't he? Ho-ho-ho!
ReplyDeleteYeah - he is a real kidder. Although the one time I used it I thought it was quite nice. Ha!
DeleteWe really got dumped upon. More than twenty inches. No power from Saturday evening until last night around ten. Fortunately we have a big generator so we were comfortable enough. And we have Direct TV so we even had television sans Netflix, Amazon, and Acorn. I'm thinking you and Dr. M have quite different tastes in books.
ReplyDeleteYeah - you guys got it a lot worse than we did!
DeleteWe actually are closer in some ways that you might imagine - for example I liked Dune pretty well. Just not FANATICALLY well.
I'm starting to wonder what the houses look like where your furniture ends up...
ReplyDeleteA shovel is not a present! It would have to be at least a basic snowblower to qualify. Of course, I shouldn't talk - my husband is getting a shredder from me for Christmas (nobody tell him!).
LOL - a shredder can be a beautiful thing if you need one. I did enjoy using the shovel - once. Ha!
DeleteFun pics:
ReplyDeletethe way the present is displayed :),

Oh, they're all fun!
