DECEMBER 2020

 Last month of 2020--what a year--with all the shut downs and stay home and wearing of masks--and always the fear of Covid every time I walk out my door---

But I did keep busy--

I did get this series this far--but found that I did not receive enough flannel in the piece I got--to do the border--so had to order another piece--which did come--but by then I was too busy to finish it--

As I did decide to put up my big tree this year again--I had to fold up the cutting table to move the patio table to where it was to put the tree where the patio table was--and this year I did clear lights--love my tree--

I also had a 3ft tree decorated on the patio table--

Made some Christmas masks--

Got the bird top all hand quilted and the binding on it--

and I got this barn panel all hand quilted and the binding on it--

got this one together and another border on it--can't find the photo!!  Blogger has changed how they do the photos now and so I seem to lose some--grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr???

 another sweater finished--

and I knitted at least 4 pairs of socks since summer--Anne, Dawn, Sunny and June got them--

and I got this far on these Christmas embroideries--

I baked 3 batches of cookies this year--

And my gifts this year--

from Anne--plus 2 bags of dark chocolate--

from Carol H in New Jersey-

from Dawn--cordless iron and fairy lights-

from Shell at the Raspberry Rabbits--

From Dan and Sarah

and a $30 gift card from American Legion in Sat Beach-

And here is where I put my miniatures this year--

and I am working on this counted cross stitching--

more has been done on this--but it is not finished--

I also have been working on embroidering another small set of Christmas ornaments--

And the other night I see the most beautiful rainbow out my window--

And I did go to Dans for Christmas dinner and gifts--at his new girl friends, Sarah's new house--

and it is large--with a duck pond in the back yard!!!
