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!”
Now this is a true Southwest christmas eve Tradition . This year I went vegetarian so no tamales. I missed them . I made green chile corn chowder instead .
