My Aunt Pete called to make sure everything was fine here. It had been too long since a blog post! LOL Everything is fine, just busy. I spent some time in the new studio working on a table runner. It is one I have made before as a gift, and loved it so much I promised myself I would make one for me one day.
I also whipped up a fleece blanket for my nephew for Christmas. I made him one a few years ago and he carries it everywhere with him. It is way too small now, so he needed a new, larger one. 
My grandchildren came and spent the night with us last night. TJ helped me make cookies. He has his own apron here...one he made himself.
I love that kid!!! Grandma's guy. He sat next to me last night while I worked on the sailboat quilt. He looked at it and said, "I'm glad that quilt is not for me Grandma. I LOVE the rainbow quilt. Can I have the rainbow quilt? I really really want the rainbow quilt, Grandma. I would LOVE the rainbow quilt. I hope the rainbow quilt is for me, Grandma." Crap. The "rainbow quilt" is my new 7000+ piece project.....he can have it when I die. I have no idea what to do now......*sigh*Emerson was a joy! She loves to play the piano. She looks up at the picture of Jesus when she plays.
Or she giggles at Uncle Kyle....
She was having a bad hair day....
Grandma sprayed it and put it up for her. She played cars with the boys for a while.
Then she got a hold of my purse and carried it around for a long time.
She is a beautiful girl. I adore being her grandma!The house is decorated for Christmas.
I am not in the Christmas "mood" like I usually am. Mostly, I will be glad when it is over...not a bah humbug, but certainly not singing Christmas Carols either! I am looking forward to a new year. 2010 was not the best of years around here, and I am anticipating 2011 will be MUCH better. I am already thinking about my new goals......
Are you starting to think about the goals you will set for 2011?

Are you starting to think about the goals you will set for 2011? I'll be back to share more on mine.
Have a blessed weekend and thank you for letting me share my week.

I am thinking about a new year, too. I love the start of a new year! I am doing less for "stuff" for Christmas and just trying to enjoy being with my family. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I'm thinking little Mr. TJ just saw your rainbow quilt and likes all the colors. He will love the sailboat quilt, Bren! :)
Yes, I have been thinking about my 2011 goals, but I haven't done anything about them yet. Still trying to get my new house organized!
Don't worry Gramma, TJ still wants that sailboat quilt but you had told him it was for someone else. He'll be so surprised come Christmas morning :o)
I love seeing those little munchkins!

I always start a new journal in the new year and list my goals in the front, look back at the ones for the previous year and see if I reached any of them...I know one was find a new church home and we haven't done that..so sad...but hopefully the new year will bring some good changes.
When my daughter was pregnant with my granddaughter, I crocheted a pretty lacy white blanket...she saw me making it and said, I hope you're not making that for my baby...she wasn't into frilly baby things...so I didn't give it to her but kept it..recently I showed it to the Princess and told her she could have it when she was an adult and maybe she'd want it when she had a baby...sometimes things like that hurt.
I'm sure TJ will love the blanket.
Loved seeing the photos of the children.
I hope 2011 is a great year for you.

Your grandchildren are beautiful. Maybe you can give the little guy a smaller, easier quilt with rainbow colors. I bet he just wants lots of colors and if you told him that you made one specially for him because that other one is too hard and will take forever, then he will be just as pleased!!
You are the second blog post that I've read this evening of people saying they just aren't into Christmas this year. So, here's what you do. Christmas day when you are feeling all hum drum, send me an email and I'll cheer you up! I am all alone with the baby all day that day. The older two will be at their dad's and hubby works a 12 hour day. So...I'm free to spread Holiday Cheer!
Oh your grand children are beautiful! I am sure you enjoy them.
Your house looks grand all decked out. And I know what you mean about not really being in the Christmas mood.....thank you for praying for me.
Hugs...
Your home is beautifully decorated. Your grandchildren are precious. Looks like you have lots of fun with them. Love the blocks you are making for your table runner.
