I can’t believe we are already into December! My Christmas cactus is blooming right on time.
November was a busy month for us. My husband, Tom, underwent surgery for Bladder Cancer. He is better now…needs to go back for regular check ups. It was the first real health scare that we, as a couple, have had to deal with.
So for Thanksgiving, we visited our kids in NJ and Tom’s 95 year old dad, being ever so Thankful for our health.
Now we are looking forward to the Christmas holiday and the New Year. We will again travel to NJ and see both the NJ kids and the CA kids, and Tom’s dad, of course. I plan to just enjoy the time we have together.

I am still working away on the Red work Birds. I am about half done the last block. I want to finish by New Year’s so that I can piece the quilt in January.

I’m also working furiously on some placements meant to be Christmas gifts.

Deciding on fabric for placemats
I’m hoping to post once again before Christmas, but just in case life gets in the way….
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. May your season be filled with family, food, and much joy!
