I have been slow to the season. Usually I have a stack of presents already hiding in the closet, but I didn't collect too many thus far this year. It is easy to buy online, but I miss the selection of looking around a shop for the best ideas. Today, I stopped at a little shop after being at the post office. It was so darn cute.
I am getting ready to see the grandkids after Christmas; the biggest presents already arrived there. And we will fly the day after Christmas to see them. They are in the midst of semester end as well as testing. The little one made the largest leap in math. I am oh, so proud. I will miss the program at school but hope to get pictures and maybe a video tomorrow.
They are preparing to move to New Orleans: a much greater populated area with tons of things to do for them all. So I am excited for their opportunity. We will help organize and pack some when we are down there.
In the meantime, my daughter has come for the week. She is lucky to be able to work from anywhere. But she has unfortunately caught a bug. We hope to see a blues concert tomorrow. And then to bake Christmas cookies Thursday. I baked and she supervised but only for one batch.
But we did see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy which is a New Orleans style group: so fun!
My biggest progress has been my Tilda blocks: I am up to 4 large blocks completed.
And I keep working on the sashing for my Blockheads 1: 7 pieces per sash.
Hope all is well with you and your family! Enjoy the season.
P.S. Today is my Mom's 93rd birthday ! Here she is with my sister at her holiday family dinner.
