Starting to Decorate for Christmas


Blue likes to go out and play with the steers. I don't know why but they will follow him.


On Thanksgiving day everyone had to go check out the new steers


Stan has such an adorable face.


Alex looks a little girlie with those long eye lashes.

Most of the Christmas decorations our in the house and ready to put up.

Getting Ready for Christmas


Yesterday was retreat bee. At retreat bee you bring and work on whatever you want. We sit and sew all day. Of course there is plenty of talking and food. Sherry brought morning snacks to have with our coffee. Laura brought lunch, lentil soup and salad. It was delicious. We all want the recipe. Jo brought cake for dessert. That really is a great way to spend the day.


I finished the quilt top which is for my husband for Christmas. It feels good to have it done. Now I have plenty of time to get it quilted.

No-Sew Friday Night


Last night at the 7-Sisters quilt guild instead of sewing we were baking.

Granny making her cookies.

The fire company has a new convection oven. One of the guild members who is also part of the fire company thought it would be fun to get together and bake Christmas Cookies. The oven will hold 10 sheets of cookies at one time.
 
Polly making snickerdoodles.
Lou mixing up gingerbread.
We each made one kind of cookie (except for Lou who made hers and Cheryl's) and everyone got a dozen of each kind. 













I am sure Margaret must have been telling me something very important.

Chris is getting those cookies off  of the sheet.
Aunt Shirley helps Karli cut out gingerbread men.



Patti and I do not believe a word Chris is saying.
Shhh don't tell her.





As always my daughter and I are having so much fun together!
Patti gets in on the fun too.

Cookies packed up and ready to go.





















We had Christmas songs going and we all had a lot of fun. 
I usually make a lot of Christmas Cookies but I think this year I will only make one more kind. My favorite that I only make at Christmas time; chocolate covered cherry cookies.

Another Day Another Quilt


I got Sharon's quilt done today.
Love those feathers.


Look what I saw out the back window this morning.
She was eating the leaves off of stuff in my flower bed
