Slow Sunday Stitching

It has been a busy couple of weeks.  The week before Thanksgiving, daughter Kristen and SIL Jeff went to Irvine to see grandson Keaton and his water polo team from West Virginia in semi-finals which they happened to win.  I took care of their 5 dogs while they were gone.  Keaton was home for two days, then went back to West Virginia the day before Thanksgiving for more practice, as the finals were scheduled in Stanford 2 weeks later, which was this past Friday.  They were up against UCLA, which they lost, so it didn't go any further. Keaton is now home for 2 months.  #15 is my grandson Keaton.  They had a professional photographer that stated on Instagram that it was a pleasure to  to photograph some new teams this year


 This was our Thanksgiving dinner, minus Keaton.

My stepdaughter Dawn was able to join us from Southern California.  We generally go across the street to the park and get pictures for the Christmas cards.  My three daughters.  

Our whole group that included SIL Jeffrey's parents.  Daughter Katie's kids, Klara and John had been sick all week and did not attend.  Also in the picture was John, Katie's husband who apparently was taking the picture.  



This past week I have been putting up Christmas decorations.  I am almost done.  One more thing to do, and I will be finished.  








This week I have also started on my Christmas cookies that I make trays and tins for every year.  





For Slow Sunday Stitching this week, I will be working on granddaughter Kyleigh's poncho .  I have 15 more inches to go.  I will be linking up  Kathy 's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  

I have to apologize if you are normally an anonymous commenter, I had to turn that option off.  I used to allow anonymous comments as I am getting up to 10 spam comments a day for sports betting.  I love hearing from you and am sorry I had to do this, but it was necessary.  

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. You are a busy lady. You have a lovely family. I always like to see what you have been up to. I don't get spam on the computer but I get about 8-10 a day on the phone! Your work is great. Poncho is crocheted that you are working on?

  5. Love those Christmas quilts! Boy, water polo is a very competitive sport, almost vicious! Our grandson who's a swimmer used to do that in high school, but now he's in art school.

  8. My mouth is watering for those cookies. I haven't made any yet. I am also jealous of your decorating as I am just not in the mood yet. I love your displays and all of those beautiful quilts. I looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration.
