More of the Same

I’m still in the Christmas rush—maybe more so this week than I was last week. We had our Tuesday Friends lunch yesterday at church, and guess what I was asked to bring? If you guessed dressing, you would be correct. 

I love dressing, but I’m getting tired of making it. I’ll probably have to a make a pan or two more when it gets closer to Christmas. 

I spent some time last night trying to get some cookie baking done. I usually take a tray to my neighbors and to the quilt shop, although I missed last year because I was sick with RSV. The ladies at the quilt shop mentioned a couple of times that they had really missed the cookies. Haha, I can take a hint. Unfortunately, the fudge didn’t turn out. I have been making the same recipe for years, and it has never failed me, but this time it was grainy and a little oily. I threw it away and will go but the store sometime today to get more ingredients. I also still need to make another batch of cookies. I won’t have as much variety this year, but I feel like I’m running short on time.

I’ve gotten a little work done. I have people wanting quilts for Christmas, and I’m trying to finish as many as I can. This one was small:

Joycelyn was happy to get her nativity panel back in time to hang it up for Christmas. 

I haven’t done a post since I had Christmas with my stepchildren last Friday. I only have a few pictures. Mostly of my grandkids, William 

and, Serenity.

The grand dogs got gifts too. Remmy and Romeo.

Romeo finally got tired enough to jump up beside me and lie down.

I have made a couple more of the Merry Trees table runners, but I don’t have borders on them yet. I have enough left over strips to do one more, and then I will put the borders on all three. 

I have a dinner date tonight with a friend. Her financial advisor hosts a Christmas party/dinner at a local restaurant, and they can bring a date. I told her I would go if I didn’t have to dress up!
