Christmas in the Making

We’ve been enjoying the season, and looking forward to today with great anticipation.

Last weekend I spent the afternoon with The Tarte Family and The BH Boys.

 

Joe had agreed to teach Cindy and I to make tamales.

 

This is not a quick, let’s just throw these together dinner!

 

Fun day learning something new,

and  though I was voted least likely to succeed in the tamale making circle,

they were certainly enough to impress everyone who tried them!

 

Then I tied myself to the chair so I could finish a couple of quilts.

 

Thankfully I have been introduced to Hulu and Netfix  so I can be entertained while I sew.

 

Wish I had taken a picture of the finished projects  before I wrapped them , but it is hard to think of these details at 3am.

Another reason for starting projects  a little earlier I suppose…

Sweet little babies came to make Christmas special.

Bringing a message for all,

 

“give the ones you love a hug!”
