Mid Week Check In

How's everyone doing? Winter has come to Central Oregon! More snow and very cold temps are the name of the game right now.

I picjked up this lovely lady in Ohio several years ago.

I love everything about her! I had my friend, Kat, send it because there was no way I could check it or carry her on. She was worth it!

I don't get to see my daughter often enough, especially with the covid bs. She is a hairdresser and is being responsible about exposure and she gets the same from her clients. We were able to meet about halfway and go for a snowy hike. I brought the gear, she brought the soup.

Mirror lake on Mt Hood. We tailgated with hot tea and hot soup on returning to my car. It was fun and so good to spend time with her.

The following weekend we had to say goodbye to our dear Porter. He was 14 and such a good dog over all those years! This photo was in a magazine. I remember my hubby laughed at me because I put a photo of me and Porter and not me and my husband! LOL

Elsa is being extra needy, so we are accommodating her. We are all very sad and feel a big part of our family missing.

The day after we went out to the trails to get some much needed fresh air.

I posted on Facebook and Instagram and feel your love with your kind and caring comments. No need to comment again, but I needed to share it here on my space.

Much love

Merry Christmas!

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you..

The little beaded bells from my grandmother.

It's a good thing this is supposed to be primitive! LOL

I found the red vintage long johns at the thrift store recently! I couldn't pass them up!

I have little Danish Nisse keeping a watch on the house.

Only part of the quilt so you can see the trapunto. I think this one is my favorite green and red of mine.

Twas the night of Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Merry Christmas and A Happy New year!

Hey friends, ready for a quick tour around my home for the holidays? Christmas is just a few days away!

This is one of my favorite quilts. I made 2 or 3 blocks a month starting in January a few years ago and in the fall my quilt top was ready to quilt. I had it on display that Christmas. It is on my bed this year and I love it. Not all the blocks are the same, but that is what makes it so fun and quirky!

Here is my other favorite quilt. (I took these after the sun went down, sorry for the poor lighting)

Here is my entryway.

A vintage Santa suit that my FIL wore when his kids were little.

My new Danish Maileg mice. I adore all things Maileg!

This is a tiny creche, one of many I have.

It's a been a difficult December. My stepmom died the same day my friend, Carol, died. She hadn't even been sick, just died sitting in her recliner.

And then Monday we had another serious accident a few miles outside of town that took the life of a dad and 10 year year old son. The wife and daughter are in the hospital. Their lives will forever be changed and Christmas will always have the cloud of their death surrounding it. Hold your loved ones a little closer and always remember to tell others that you love them. Never take a day for granted.

Here's my Instagram feed for the week.

I'm going to sign off my blog until the new year. Let's plan on showing our completed Porch quilt top on January 2nd. (Ill give a reminder on Facebook)
