Christmas is over and it isn't quite January yet. It's that
in between time when you could take down the decorations and the tree
or just leave them be for another few more days. I am choosing the latter this year. It has been a nice and quiet Christmas this year. My little family and I spent some much needed time with one another; since last Christmas he was deployed a million miles away.
Cookies were made one day and eaten the next. Pecan fingers from a recipe over at
mamacjt's. (these were the 2nd batch made in a week! Hubby
really likes them!)
My little scientist, Ayden was hard at work with his scientist kit Christmas gift experimenting with colors.
Before Christmas Day, hubby was busy building this LEGO table for his son. Isn't he talented?! Ayden approves and all the LEGOS on the table are from daddy's collection when he was little.
I gifted my hubby a waffle iron. You know the kind that rotates. This was his request. After opening gifts Christmas Day, we made chocolate chip and powdered sugar topped waffles and then later in the day went to go see Parental Guidance which was a hoot! OOOh and the hubby melted my heart with some FQ's for Christmas! Yippee!!
The last couple of days have been carefree and quiet as well. I think I will show you a quilt I finished in time for Ayden as a Christmas gift.
Pebbles for
miles and miles. Very tiring. It took 2 days to complete. After a quick spin in the washer and toss in the dryer this quilt was golden. Textured bliss!
It goes well with this blonde kid that lives at my house too!!! ;)
This back worked out wonderfully for the back and it really qualifies as awesome in my book!! Those letters I added on each side which are from the Summersville line by Lucie Summers. Very educationally inclined here;)
Look at what Ayden and I
made and then daddy
decorated and Ayden
signed for the Grandparents this year. They were well received!!
The countdown begins until the New Year. Hope you are able to celebrate with family and/or friends. Be thankful for all your blessings throughout this year. Enjoy the moments as they come in the New Year!!
Thank you for checking in on my blog once in awhile to say hi! I love having each and every one of you in my life.
Sewing into the New Year,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
