Had a great trip with beautiful weather and friends. We had lots of laughs, great food, and stitching time. I finished the chick Easter mat and the spring month for my crazy quilt hanger. I also stitched the wool banner for Valentine's Day but it went home with my friend the finisher. Came home to temps of 50 so not a total shock to the system.
All of the stitching was done in 2014 and the finishing on the pincushion and box done as well. But the scissor fob was finished tonight. Did all the hand sewing myself...even the cording. Hoping this is a good sign for the new year.
Birthday present for a girlfriend who is allergic to wool...the backing is cotton and told her not to rub it on her face. Loved doing it and very happy with how it turned out.
Can't wait to have hot chocolate by the fire pit with our new matching mugs and peppermint marshmallows. Fantastic present....thanks Brittany.
It has been a very good year for us...we are blessed with good family, friends, and our health. God has surely blessed us.

| Beautiful day after Thanksgiving, so at least the outside got decorated. |

| Always wanted to be able to roast marshmallows.....nice addition. |

| Had to take Ben to the brewery tour on Saturday. Chris knew all of the answers in the beer making process quiz....makes a mom proud. Then met up with our niece Karla for another brewery tour, this one MUCH smaller than AB. |

| Had to take Ben to the St Louis classic (which Karla was happy to go to again) for frozen custard. After that, it was on to watch the Alabama-Auburn football game as Ben is a huge Alabama fan. We had a great time with lots of like-minded fans. Roll tide.....roll. |

| Usually get at least one family picture a year and this one shows how short I am compared to these tall boys. |
