IT'S SNOW I LOVE!!!! ICE I HATE!!!
I also LOVE this little girl who is riding her mother and Auntie KK's wooden horse. YES.....I saved it all these years for such a time as this and I love watching her ride it!!
We braced for the worst in Tulsa, OK today and thankfully we only got about a quarter of an inch of ice and sleet. We are suppose to get 3-5 inches of snow on top of that tonight. I am hoping so!!! Nothing like snow to get you in the Christmas spirit!!
My classes today and tomorrow were canceled so I have the wonderful fortune of staying home and getting lots done for the holidays. I wrapped and finished projects all day. It was wonderful!!!
My parents are visiting from WV. They are 85 and in great health. It is nice having them here. Mother and I both sewed this afternoon while Dad kept a watchful eye on the weather.
I finished a flannel quilt for my brother for Christmas today complete with label.
Mother pieced the top and I did the quilting, binding and label.
Isn't the snowflake border great? Especially on a snowy day like today.
I try to label my quilts before gifting. It doesn't always happen but I am happy this one has such a pretty label.
I also worked on monogramming Christmas stockings for my oldest daughter and her family today. She bought these stockings after the holidays and I had a year to do them......well at least they are done now!!
The stockings did not have a cuff originally and the hanger was on the inside. Very interesting design.
I made a cuff from the soft flannel left from my brother's quilt and embroidered it on my Designer SE Viking machine. I just LOVE that machine.
I am happy with the finished product. I also put names on three stockings for a friend today.
Tomorrow I hope for snow!! I am soaking a pound of navy beans to make white bean soup. Life is good and full!!
Happy Trails,
Mtn Mama
