Melissa's Cheerful Lap Quilt

 

Melinda's Daisy Lap Quilt

I have been busy quilting this past year and hope to do a lot more of it.   Right now I am working on another lap quilt for one of my other daughters.  This gives me joy.

Haven't Forgotten

I haven't forgotten my blog spot - just haven't gotten around to posting anything.  I enjoy visiting others.  Maybe that will be a goal of mine - update my blog spot soon.

Thanksgiving has come and gone. Now-Christmas

Thanksgiving with family was a joyful occasion.  I absolutely ate too much.
I decorated for Christmas with Christmas music playing and an evergreen candle burning.  Rearranging the furniture was necessary in order to fit a Christmas tree into our livingroom.  It took me all day but it was great.  I really would of liked it if my grown children could of been here to help.  My husband was at work - he is not into decorating.  He did comment that it looked like Christmas had hit our house.

 When I started pulling out the tubs of decorations I was joyfully surprised to find items  purchased on sale after Christmas last year. Yes, I had new stuff to work with so  a lot of the old decorations stayed packed away.  They will come out to be used again in future Christmas'.  Maybe one day my children or grandchildren will use them after I am gone-  I don't plan on leaving soon.

A New Front Door

I have lived in my home for 26 years and today I got a new front door.  I love it!  It brings me joy!

Pumpkin joy

Made these little pumpkin cupcakes for the teachers at my granddaughter's school and they were gone within the hour!  This brought the teachers joy and  knowing they enjoyed them  brought me joy.
