December is here and is almost over.
Birthdays, Christmas lunch with the girls,
Christmas dinner with family
and finishing up some UPP, which are
unfinished patchwork projects!!
Well, it started on December 1st with a
real Christmas tree.
The first in many years, guess
the fake one was to fake this year and too much of a job to get
it down, unpacked and set up.
We had a great time finding just the perfect one
WOW!! they are expensive!!
But, remember... we only live once.... SO !
OH Christmas Tree!!
Getting closer to Christmas and
It's my birthday !!
Celebrating...
lunch with the kids, big and small
Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without cookies!!
This year cookie jars went out to all my special friends...
The butcher and all of his employees,
the paper girl, my two special florists and of course another special lady!!!
Cookies, homemade chocolates, brownies and .....
Patchwork !!
The patchwork group keeps patching...
A few creations, we are working on the Collage Quilts from Fiberworks
Enjoy !!
Christmas Lunch with the girls !
The patchwork group is a special one, we share our good times and sometimes our bad times, but we know how to enjoy special times !!
Not many pictures, but our menu was:
Champagne et amuse bouche
Verrines aux saumon
Fois gras et petits pains de saison
Moules farcis avec une sauce de soupe de poissons
Croutons et riz
Plateau de fromage
Buches de Noël aux Chocolate
et aux fruits
Petit Cœurs aux Chocolat
Vin Blanc, Vin Rouge et
Champagne
Everyone makes something and we all share.
A wonderful day with lots of Smiles and Laughter
Oh I must say...
We were 13 at the table, but there was a 14th place setting !!!
Quilting time and UPP time
Yes, there is always time for quilting and getting some of those projects done!!
Some of my projects that were way behind and now are on the almost done list!!
