Once the turkey was in the oven, I headed down into the studio. You see, I kinda committed to making some blocks for
Cami - go read the story. I bet even if you don't quilt, you'll make a block or two if you sew. I plugged
a movie in and got busy.
I was soon joined by The Musical One who has finally learned to purl. She sat down and worked on the scarf she's gifting. It's a basketweave pattern and she's making good progress. TMO also got called into action for her nice handwriting.
Next up - I had to share half of my craft table with
The Princess - she was busy handcrafting cards for her
Coffee Swap Partner. Some body's getting a lovely set of note cards - do people still write letters and send notes?
Finally - check out this mess I was making. This is why I don' t quilt. I am very matchy-matchy. This drives me crazy, I can't mix the pinks, oranges, blues and greens. Plus I try so hard to make my blocks random that they look planned. So far, I have finished 4 of 6 blocks. Hoping to get the last 2 done today and get them into the mail by Monday.
After dinner - we started our annual Santa puzzle. Hope your holiday was equally relaxing and enjoyable.

Fun! I'm glad you and the girls had a good time crafting together.
ReplyDeleteWhat did the man and pups of the house do while you crafted?
Sounds like a great way to spend the day to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a wonderful day spent with your daughters. No hounds in the studio? They must have been watching football with JB!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice relaxing day at home. We like to puzzles in the winter, too.
ReplyDeleteohhh, thanks for the reminder to dig my puzzles out! So nice to have both girls home!
ReplyDeleteThank you for diving into the charity-quilt project that has no end. I'm working on blocks today at the shop for one of the quilts. C
