Finished in September, gifting in December

You've seen me post progress of my cross stitch piece on Instagram.  

I FINISHED IT!



I'll get it pressed and framed to give to my husband for either his birthday or Christmas present.  That's his signature phrase.  I bought the pattern in July 2010; it only took 8 years to finish it!

Some time has passed! From the first of November to now!!!

So like most of you, much has happened within the past month.  My eldest twin son saved and bought his first car:  The really odd part is actually having my car anytime I want it for at least the next week until my daughter gets home from Snow College!


He also raked up the forest worth of leaves in our back yard.  That pile doesn't look very tall but you need to understand that I'm looking down at them.  Our house (and patio) stands on a hill above the level of that playset.  Both of my sons bagged those leaves which filled 8 or 9 of those big contractor-sized leaf and debris bags!


Biscuits and chicken.  Definitely not a diet food but tasty!


Now my latest quilting finish:


I finished the quilt top and have purchased the backing and batting.  Now it sits on a chair.  Waiting.


My other twin son treated me to dinner at Taqueria Tres Hermanos Thursday night.  It was a lovely night out with him!


Finally starting to break out Christmas decorations starting with stockings my sister-in-law made us years ago.  She is in our hearts, prayers, and minds this Christmas.


Some bookmarks I made for my quilting friends. This was my inspiration post.


Now what else can I do to avoid quilting that Christmas quilt above?!  I think that starting is the hardest part!
