January was wonderful !  Two vacations, almost back to back.

Lots to catch up on.

Been working on these two for awhile.  

Both the same, will need a third so each kid can have one.

The right side of this scene was given to us last year.  This year we received the left side.  It wasn't set up thinking of a photo or what was on a particular side.  It just seemed to flow well this way.

Anyhow, the gifts were from our son's girlfriend

(whom we have not yet met)

I love her generosity

(yes, the needlework is mine)

Patchwork Quaker mystery

I did this for a fundraiser auction.

It brought in $100.

Also some stitching

Last progress on Church of the Spilt Blood  (maybe early December)

A small piece.  Accented "accept", "let go"  and "faith"

What is important to me.

Who Knew !

Happy New Year's Day
