I am still here, just not able to get to the computer very often.
Crafting has been happening, although I can't show you much of it since my gift-recipients read my blog. At this point I am so full of crafty ideas that I can't wait until after the first of the year to make something that isn't a Christmas gift. Funny how that happens: I am always most inspired when I am busy and don't have time to sew.
Also, I am really looking forward to the quilt-along and I want to start working on that soon.
In the middle of the wedding planning and preparing, my boys were in the play "It's a Wonderful Life" and that was a blast. Really, they were both so cute and handsome that I couldn't stand it. My oldest played the role of George Bailey and it was so nice to see him relax and enjoy the role. I found myself wondering "where did this come from" watching him and it made me so proud. Unfortunately all the pictures that I took are TERRIBLE, but I am showing you one anyway:
My guys are the two on the left, George Bailey and Nick the Tavern Owner, and the kid on the right is Clarence the Angel. George is discovering how different people's lives would be if he had never been born. What a great story!
Today I had the desire to can something, so I made California Mix. Not sure where that desire came from, but I went with it. Bills should have been paid, but that cauliflower spoke louder and I heeded the call. Tonight I will write the checks so our utilities don't suffer. :)
I hope your Christmas planning is going great and that you are having fun making memories. It's easy to think it's all about the presents, when it isn't. It is about the people God has placed in our lives and the fact that they are a blessing worth celebrating. Don't forget to have fun!
Blessings to you all!
