Christmas Is Coming


I got the Christmas panel quilt finished and hung up in the hallway. I like it a lot! I just added some nine patches I had on hand, and some sashings to a pretty panel and ended up with a pretty seasonal wallhanging!


I think it looks pretty cool outside with an empty chicken feed bag beside it! Color coordination, you know!

Lots going on around here. We've been decorating for Christmas, especially because we're expecting our sweet Mary home from New York! So excited, all of us! Some warming chicken noodle soup tonight, cats being cats under the Christmas tree, another of my little watercolors, sweet Ariel, our first double yolk egg from this batch of chickens, and some of the pretty still going on in our yard. I am so amazed at that Christmas cactus bud that grew through the screen and is now trying to bloom! Talk about determination!

Mr. Muddling, God love him, brought home a couple of orchids last week. They are so pretty and really brighten up a room.

Just because I could and because I am not too fond of Winter, I put a new header on the blog of a beach scene. It is Galveston, Texas, many years ago, and those pretty little girls are our daughters Mary. and Ruthie.  It makes me smile.

Lots of things going on in this world make me angry and discouraged, or at least they try to do that, but there are so many MORE things that make me so extremely grateful to our good God! He is truly good all the time.  I hope you've discovered that.

Hugs and kisses,
Elaine
