It’s been a very busy last few weeks.  Dear older son has come and gone, dear younger son and dear daughter will be returning to the Bay area and University after the new year.  The quilts I made for them were a hit.  I had been collecting Japanese themed fabrics, and made them all the same quilt, with different sashings.  We also still keep up  the  tradition of “picture with Santa”.  A few years back, it became too difficult to organize going to the mall to take Santa photos, so I bought a Santa costume, and now, dear hubby dons the suit for our annual Santa photo.  It takes a few attempts to get the “almost” perfect shot as the kids are always goofing off.

And, Santa was very generous to me this year – I am now the proud owner of a Featherweight! I can even join the Featherweight club, haha.  And we also picked up dear daughters Elna Grasshopper from the shop – it runs beautifully now.  It belonged to her great grandmother Frederica.  She has named her Freddy :).

Happy New Year to you all!
