Texas

 My days go by far too quickly. We have been in Texas two weeks and absent here for longer than that.

               I discovered this baby blanket in the cupboard so I have been working on it.

Dakota Man made this for daughter knit and pearls Christmas.

In Texas style I made poblano creamed corn yesterday.

It is a sunny 73 degrees here today with a blizzard brewing up back home.

Life is good.

Blue

 I've been doing a little last minute doll knitting.

Some knitting, some painting and some reading...

I am enjoying these last days before Christmas.

Santa

 I was playing around in my little sewing sweatshop a few weeks ago 

when Mr. B gave me a pair of his worn out jeans.

The bag size is too small for my needs so I'm hoping a granddaughter will claim it.

This picture may need a few tweaks but I wanted to keep it loose.

We are enjoying every day leading up to Christmas. They just go by so quickly.

Giving

Dont you just love a thoughtful gift? 

And a house decorated beautifully for Christmas? I wish it was mine but no it's my sister's where we spent a night dog sitting for her and her husband. 

My November stack of books finished a week late.

Steamers

 Making shower steamers is easy.

Just a few ingredients is all it takes to make your shower a little nicer and as it looks like a busy week here one of these will be perfect.

All the signs

 of November...

A loaf of pumpkin bread in the old cast iron pan.

When the frost is on the pumpkin the squirrels are happy.

We have turkeys in our neighborhood.

Have you started your Thanksgiving shopping list?

b

Leaves

 My 'Falling Leaves' quilt is finished and ready to use...

and just in time for our 'Falling Temps'.

Dakota Man made me this sweet little barn quilt for the house.

It's a busy little house that we live in.
