2025 Wrap Up

 Happy New Year's Eve!  This was our Christmas Eve photo from church in Marshall.

This was the photo Sarah and Aaron took at their church Christmas Eve service (on December 18th).

I prepped Sarah's room for her week long stay over Christmas.  Harry and Mabel helped smooth out the Christmas quilt.  They were allowed to sleep with her while she was here.  

We stopped at McDonalds on our way up to Bethany the weekend before Christmas.  Aaron posed with The Wolf!  He's not the huge Chief's fan that we are, but he humors us.

Pictures were taken at Bethany, but not on my phone, so I don't have any photos to share from there.  When we returned home, it was to find that an earthquake had hit Bethlehem.  

Sarah got the opportunity to reconnect with Charlie who made an appearance in the shed.  He's such a sweet, soft, and beautiful cat.

At the Bentley Christmas on Christmas Day, Sarah demonstrated that she could still fit in the child rocker.  Flynn wasn't too thrilled that she was sitting in "his" chair.  She tried to explain that it was her chair before it was his.

And, the group photo was taken on my phone.  I also took the portable photo printer over that I got for Christmas and printed a photo for Rosie so she wouldn't have to wait 2 days for me to get it from Walmart.

Not a lot of sewing got done in December.  I did piece this baby quilt for our friends in Florida who come up here to hunt every November.  It's on the longarm now awaiting quilting.  I need to get working on it since I can send it down with someone (and avoid it getting lost in the mail) who is traveling down on the 10th.  

I have made this baby quilt before.  It's call Lookout and is an Elizabeth Hartman pattern.  I did it all from my scrap stash.

I also made some baskets and gifted them at Bethany.

And I received these hand made and beaded ornaments from an online quilters group gift exchange.

David made some cows.  One was gifted to Aunt Judy for her birthday.

I finished this cross stitch and another one that I still have to press and then get a photo of.

Well, that's a wrap for 2025.  I'm going to spend the New Year's working up my list of UFO's and things I want to work on in 2026.  I am also starting to put away the Christmas decs.  The tree was taken down yesterday, so now it's just the other stuff.

Happy New Year!
