Holiday Magic

I spent the afternoon with E. and the grandgirls.  We made chocolate and peanut butter fudge.  They so love to "help".  I have not made Christmas candy or cookies in years since my kids left home and my husband became diabetic, he allows himself too much surgar without having the mass amounts I used to make for the holidays in the house.  I had fun sharing the kitchen with my family, it brings the holidays alive!

Season of busy

I have been working in the basement again gathering another 100 things to get out of the house.  This is the 5th set I have done!  Yeah, progress!  Alas my basement looks like a hurricane swept thru.  A garbage run would be a good start for the next set and the back corner will be completely cleared.  The truck is not running right now or a trip would be scheduled immediately.  Unfortunately, my kitchen table is a mess. Again.  I must try to clear it and the dining room table (college study area, mess).

I have been sewing a LOT!  We had two more 24 hour sew at my daughters,giving support and getting a lot done.  A homemade Christmas this year and yes, a bare minimum spent in the (box) stores.  I am so thrilled to keep the commercialism out of the holidays this year.  After the holidays some pictures will get posted (in case the curious want to peek).
