Happy Holidays!
Hello, my friends!!!! I've missed you all bunches and bunches! Are you ready for Christmas? I've been peeking over your shoulders; oh my so many of you have been so incredibly busy.
I've been trying to decide whether I'm a Christmas success or failure. ;-) I had a grand plans and a good start and then life got in the way (dagnabbit - LOL) I planned to spread holiday cheer to many of my blog friends - those that never forget me at Christmas or on my birthday (you know who you are!)
The picture above shows a Schnibbles George and quilt and pillow for my daughter and her family. I wanted to make the same for us but it didn't happen. Dishtowels and word pillows - wanted to make lots more. grrrrrr! That simply didn't happen.
I did finish these six stitchery gifts. As I was wrapping and packaging them to mail it occured to me that they are pillows or wallhanging. (does that count as two gifts in one? LOL
Simple wrapping!I did manage to get to the post office twice this week so hopefully some will arrive before Christmas. I have two more packages to mail - please be patient with me. :-)
I've received some very thoughtful e-mails - checking on me! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Life in our home is very different but 'it is what it is'.
Living for Today, forgetting about Yesterday and not fretting about Tomorrow is our way of life now ---- it's working!
Happy Holidays to you and yours from me and mine!
In Friendship!

Love your stitcheries and towels--so sweet! Thinking of you often and hoping there are lots of good moments among all the changes. Merry Christmas!
I am so pleased to hear that your and yours are doing OK. It is always amazing to me how quickly people can adjust to the "new normal." Take care.
I love the Full House Schnibbles pillow! Really cute! I don't know that I have time to do a Christmas gift each month at this time, but I love the idea and it has inspired me to try to get some gifts done early!
