December is a notoriously busy month, and ours was no exception, so there will be two posts to cover this one. Of course, being “busy” spending time with our fantastic friends and family is one of the best ways we can think of to use our time. We are grateful to have all of you in our lives.

On December 6, we honored what would have been my mom’s 63rd birthday with a family day at Animal Kingdom. Miss her every day.

I love this man with my whole heart. |
Sewing is my second favorite hobby (after reading) and I was honored to be asked to create a couple gifts for friends to give as presents, as well as making gifts for some special people in my life.
|
I made these four dresses for the four beautiful C girls. |
|
I finally finished the long-promised quilt for Kerri. |
|
This one took longer because all the quilting you can see was done by hand, not by machine. |
|
This dress was a gift for the niece of a friend. |

Love the surprise detail on the back. |

This more modern quilt was done for a friend to give as a gift. |

Keeping the back simple. |
