What a day but so happy with what I got accomplished. I am now down to one gift left to make.

I finished this little table topper for my mother. It is a old pattern from Connecting threads. I guess I will have to post later as my phone didn't take it.

This next picture is two little doll quilts to go with Sara's quilt. They are too cute.  She will love them.


I also finished these two runners. Another pattern from Connecting threads.




I love these. They are so pretty.

I also made seven dozen peanut butter balls and four dozen cherry balls and two dozen peanut butter cookies. Another good day. So now I have two grandchildren for the night, one in bed asleep and I am not to far behind.  Good night. We are off to two hockey games tomorrow for our six year old grandsons. Should be good.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am back! I have missed blogging but just have been so busy getting my Christmas gifts ready that I just haven't had time for much. This has probably been the busiest year of my life but I have made it through. I also miss my lap top so which I find it harder to post on my mini e reader.

So what have I been up to. Getting my house back to normal after my son and his family moved out. They love their new home and I love having my space back.  Busy in the sewing room making Christmas gifts. I can just show a couple of things and then will post the other gifts after Christmas.

I made this beautiful cross stitch picture for my granddaughter to hang in her new room.


I was very happy with this picture. I had did this picture before years ago on an afghan. The frame is 18 by 18. It should look nice on Lauren's empty walls.

This is a quilt that I did for my youngest granddaughter. I love how this turned out.




This is a pattern I think I had found on the Craftsy site. Sara loves to dress up and I think all these colors of finger nail polish will be a hit. It will fit her double bed nicely. 

So this is all I will show tonight so I then will have an excuse to stop by again. I hope everyone is almost ready for Christmas. I spent the evening wrapping gifts. It didn't help that I had the flue for a couple of days this week so it put me a little behind but by Christmas eve I should be ready. So again it will be nice to be back.
