Twas the day after Christmas ...

and all through the house where 4 dogs a barking and playing, 2 cats a hissing (at the visiting dog), 1 sister visiting. We had a quiet Christmas, my DH, my youngest sister and myself. I worked in the morning then home to spend the rest of the day with my little family. No quilting but I did get some great frog fabric from my sister. I will have to find the perfect project for these fat quarters. My sister and I are going to Tennessee on Tuesday to view the quilt shops over there. My DH got me a GPS system for the car - guess he thinks I'm lost when I'm really at the quilt shops.
My mother finally received her quilt today, guess the bad weather in the North delayed the shipment. She is thrilled and is planning on finding coordinating pillow cases for her bed to match. It feels good to give hand made items for Christmas. Did you make anything for someone on your list this year? I would love to hear what you made and the story behind the item.

Today I am sharing another of my DH's photos. This looks like an angel floating through the trees to me. Can you see it? Hint - the head is to the right, wings up and down, the body to the left.

Sorry about the puddle song

After helping a few people learn how to add a subscription link to their blogs I thought I'd go look at widgets. I found widgetbox.com and tried adding several widgets to my blog. A Christmas Countdown widget and a pug dog singing. I laughed so hard I almost made a puddle of my own. (I am getting to that age where laughing hard can have unexpected consequences). I hope you all enjoy the song.
Here is another picture from my favorite photographer, Dan my DH. This would make a great quilt don't you think? Enjoy!
