We have a winner!

This is a picture I  received this morning  from my dog sitter. I miss my puppies,  but not the snow!

Linda is our winner....

Love all your patterns and this one is no different~ Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone  had  a wonderful holiday!

I'm  at my new home in St. George, Utah it is so beautiful  here and no snow. I couldn't  bring my puppies  with me because I don't have a  fenced yard yet. 

I had hiatal hernia surgery on Dec. 23rd and I didn't  get out of the hospital until Christmas  day. We decided to skip the holiday this year. Geoff has been a wonderful nurse, plus he's a great cook. His garlic  mashed potatoes and gravy are the best!!

I'm  typing  this on my tablet so please excuse the errors you may find here. 

Life is still good and 2015 is going to be a Happy  Healthy  New Year!

Thanks for all your  wonderful  comments they make my day!

Linda send me your  address  and Geoff will get the pattern to you sometime next week when he gets home. 

The crocheted  item was a thimble holder with a wishbone crocheted in it. Aunt Geneva called it angel wings. I'd  never seen one before. 

Happy New Year  everyone. ..I'll  try to post again  soon!  It's nap time for me.....

Happy Holidays! Having a GIVEWAY!

I've been doing a little stitching on a few projects.  This is a pin cushion from Primitive Gatherings. I love it. I bought it at Quilt Market.

I'm enjoying my journey. How are you enjoying yours?

I did a little holiday baking. This is a few of the loaves of Banana Bread. I am giving you the recipe.  I found it in my parents kitchen. I know the recipe book is at least 58 years old.

I love the recipe which is hand typed and 3 holed punched and bound with rings.

I've actually been doing a bit of painting for Christmas.  Here is one of the projects.

This is my Aunt Geneva.  She is 80 years old and blind. She is painting with me and we have enjoyed each other's company while making these projects. Of course we have been drinking a bottle of wine per day (no wonder we have so much fun!).

Here is the Star we painted and decorated for our doors.

Does anyone know what this is????? Geneva's mother made it for her. I have never seen one before. Have you? I want to hear your comments on this one!

I'm giving away a complete set of patterns (12) for my new Block of the Month "Beauty All Around".

Please leave comments. I will be drawing the lucky winner Dec. 21st.  Thanks for stopping by.  I'm leaving tomorrow for St. George to get out of the Salt Lake inversion.  If you live here you know what I'm talking about.  Take care friends! Happy Stitching!
