update you on a few things.
Last month we watched our youngest grandson sing as his school glee club honored veterans. It was a fun, inspiring morning!
I finally finished this aged UFO but won't reveal how long ago it was started. Maybe I'll even wear it next summer?
On the Friday before Veteran's Day weekend, a friend and I attended the Block Party Quilters' annual show. This small quilt was done by a talented friend in our small quilt group.
There are way too many other photos for one post, but this one was one of my favorites and appropriate for the season.
This little tank top hopped off my needles just in time for our littlest grand daughter to wear it in their annual Christmas photo with Santa. (This year is the first photo where both kids were smiling, not crying, and I'm sure Santa appreciated that!)
Every year in Seattle there's a display of gingerbread "houses". And every year the creations have been more elaborate and less like houses. This year's theme was "Seattle Then and in the Future". ( Donations are given to support research for Juvenile Diabetes.) We never fail to be amazed at the creativity. Here are two of our favorites:
Can you even imagine the amount of flour, sugar and candy are used in these?
Well, that's about it for now. I will show the rest of my completed projects next week. For once one of my Christmas cacti plants looked at the calendar and is blooming right on schedule!
Happy Holidays!!
PS The other thing that kept us very busy was preparing for our choir program on the third Sunday of Advent. Have a listen if you wish.

My goodness you have been busy! Those gingerbread “houses” are amazing. Maybe I should call them creations instead!! Your completed UFO is so pretty. I like the detailing in the middle. And what a sweet vest for your grand to wear to see Santa I hope you have a very wonderful and Merry Christmas my friend. I’ll look forward to seeing your other projects after Christmas.
Blessings always, Betsy
The two sweaters are wonderful - is the reindeer duplicate stitch?
Hearing children sing with gusto warms my heart.
