I'm still here!

Hi to those of you patient enough to stick around!

I am still here!  I have still been working on my various crafts, just for some reason I have forgotten to share any of them.

Here are some updates (life, crafts, whatever).

In November 2022, hubby took me to Disneyland to see it decorated for Christmas.  I've been there multiple times, but never for Christmas before.

We spent Thanksgiving on the Oregon coast.  Yes, I know it's a Christmas setting, but it was at our hotel.

In early December last year, hubby took me to Leavenworth, WA.  It was phenomenal!  There was obviously snow on the ground, but the passes were clear, so no worries with driving.

I finished my Christmas string quilt last year in time to have it out during the holidays.  I’ll see if I can get a better photo, this is the only one I could find.

I finished (as far as I was going to) Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt from 2021 (a year late).  It wasn't really my favorite color palette and I was too lazy to do the final border.  My sister likes it though, so she'll get it after I get it quilted.  Maybe she'll even help quilt it once I get my "new" longarm figured out.

I finished a wall quilt to hang during the Summer.  I didn't get a photo of it after I quilting it, but here it is assembled.

I finished Night Train II by Elizabeth Spurlock.  That means I have the set done now.

In February of this year, hubby and I attended our industry's convention (Awards and Personalization) in Las Vegas.  The convention was at Paris Las Vegas and that's where we stayed.  It was our first time attending since 2008!

This update is rather sad, in August, hubby and I had to put down our cat Spooky who was just one month shy of 17.  Here she is under the Christmas tree while I was decorating it three years ago.

On October 7, hubby and I adopted 2 kittens (sisters) from our local PAWS.  Meet Freya (striped) and Dolly (gray and white).  They were 3 months old when we got them.

I started another One Block Wonder quilt.  Here is the fabric I'm using:

....and here is my progress as of yesterday:

I promise that I'll try to update more frequently, rather than 14 months apart!

Happy Stitching!
