We had a white Christmas, but it's raining now, as usual.

50 done , more to sew.  Clue 6 tomorrow.

A busy December

A very busy December. I'm singing in 2 choirs that are singing this weekend. One is an interfaith choir singing Christmas songs in a Community Choir Concert tomorrow night. The other is an LDS choir singing tonight and tomorrow morning for stake conference.  I'm also playing the piano for a small group for Christmas Eve Sunday service.

Also cutting out and sewing pieces for the "On Ringo Lake Mystery Quilt with Bonnie Hunter.  Started clue 3 yesterday. Bigger and more rectangles wit :/ stitch and flip corners.Lots  of them!!!!!!.  More coral and neutrals cut out

And another granddaughter and her 2 kids moved in with us.  8 people in my 3 bedroom house plus a small travel trailer.

Impossible to keep the house clean.

Waiting for clue 2

Last night I finished  all the nine patches for the On Ringo Lake Mystery quilt. Now I am waiting- not so patiently- for clue #2 tomorrow.  I received the rest of the fabric for it in the mail today. One of the the fabrics was actually a dark green, not brown.  It won't work in this quilt, so into my stash it went.

Today I went to Sew Fun at Quality Sewing and Vacuum in Puyallup.  Each month they have a mini trunk show with a show and tell. I brought the Ultimate Travel Bag that I made.  It is a pattern form byAnnie.com, with a class by Craftsy.com.

Today is a rainy day in Spanaway, where I live with my husband and 3 adult grandkids, 2  1/2 dogs , 2 cats and a bearded dragon lizard. (The 1/2 dog belongs to my sister, Minnie, who lives in a fifth wheel on the property. Her chihuahua mix thinks my house is his second home. comes in through the dog door anytime he pleases.  He likes to sit on my lap.)

I need to finish quilting my granddaughter,Gabrielle's, quilt.  But tonight I am going to crochet on a table runner. I am using #10 white thread and a #7 crochet hook.  I've been working on this for 6 weeks, off and on.  Nearly done.

Have a great day.
