Part Three

Today we had part three of Christmas, that is, with the in-laws. It had been a while since we had them over last and it was the first time the grandparents had come to our house. We had a roast and garlic mashed potatoes with cucumber salad and mashed parsnips. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food, which is great because grandpa is a little specific.

Anyways, this year i made my mother in law a quilt, i love it, it was difficult to give this one away. It was all with fabric she had given me over time and she loved it. The snowflakes were Brent's contribution, he cut them out of paper which i then cut out of fabric and appliqued on.


I love the little Canadian mitten print.

Here's a token shot of the boys building. Brent got a ping pong table this year, which he is excited about because he can fold down half and play by himself. The look on grandpas face says it all.

It seems like the quilt went to good use!

This year i want to do more quilting and crocheting, my fabric and wool stash is not getting any smaller and i have lots of projects i'd love to get to.
My quilting goal for the year: I will make a spider web quilt with scraps!
My crochet goal for the year: I will make ten pairs of mittens!
House goal: I want to have all the rooms in the house be functional and clutter free, we have a lot of clutter mostly because we don't have a lot of closet space or dressers, a blessing and a curse, so our house needs to be purged!
