Hello ~ Hello

Well hello my friends,

I really am still here.

It just seems the time got away from me. . 

Or maybe I was stuck in time!

Any hoo. . It is January. . 

And I really missed you. I visited many

blogs, but I just wasn't in the mood to show you

the same things I show all the time.

You have seen my decorations.

I don't change much from year to year.

Just starting to do less and less changing.

I like my home how it is. . .!

During the Christmas holidays I did decorate.  Very little though.

I figure what goes up must come down.

So I kept it simple.

One thing or I should say four things I am proud of

that I did during my absence from blogging

I made four Christmas quilts for my 4 children and their spouses

A Labor of Love.

I would do it a thousands times again. . 

My kids were so thrilled with the quilts.

And I was thrilled I did them.

Boy, oh boy did it take a lot of time.

I should have started months ago, but

my usual style is to think of some grand

thing at the last minute.  

I started the Christmas quilts at the end of October.

I was still binding one on the 23 of December.

But, like I said I would do it again and again.

In fact I may do quilts for all the holidays.

Well, I hope your new year is going well.

I am doing well,  and I look forward to 

2018

Please do come back!
