Weekly Update

Happy Holidays to all. I love this season. Our weather has even gotten a little cooler, 40s in the night and 70s during the day. I spent Thanksgiving at my Niece's, Kim, home. It was a small group as my brother in law and nephew went hunting. I enjoyed spending the day with my daughter, grandson, granddaughter, niece, and great niece. We had a turkey with all the trimming and side dishes, including pumpkin pie and cake. Then we watched our Houston Texans win another football game, now 10-1 for the season. I am working on setting up my own tax and bookkeeping service. As I have said I worked the last 10 years as a tax preparer, so I do have some knowledge of  taxes. I have enjoyed having the time to stitch and not having a lot of stress in my life.
Linda, you asked about the designer of the bows I made for one of my exchanges. The designs were from a Bucilla-Merry Bows Kit. I stitched several large and small bows a few years ago and love the patterns. I enjoyed the patterns and have used the designs several times for different projects.
I did finish the Nutcracker ornament that I will donate as a door prize at a March of the Nutcrackers Luncheon in Dec.

Great progress as always Joyce. Thanks for the info on the ribbons. They are really pretty. Seems like half the time I found something I really like, they are from years ago. I'll just admire yours.
