Merry Christmas from Lynette and Dale

Greetings from Lynette and Dale. 

Family Tree Quilt

My glorious Christmas gift from my talented Mother - Ruth Baumgarten. With signatures saved from both sets of grandparents, my parents, siblings (including me), my husband, children and grandchildren, she crafted my personal Family Tree Quilt. She even left 2 blank spots for future grandkids' names! Even though I am not usually a "purple person", when we shopped I chose this romantic lilac print fabric, with coordinating greens and purples. I also got to choose the quilt design - which she found quite challenging - early last fall and voila! She also did one for each of my sisters. A prolific artist, my mother. I can't wait to see the other two, which I''ll post here when I get pictures.

Cookie Day

Whoa. It's time for cookies. I've been procrastinating, knowing the temptation of having too many yummy cookies around. And I've been busy with art guild meetings, doll projects, charm exchanges, and hosting a couple meetings/parties.

But, family packages are (mostly) all sent. Customer orders are filled and shipped. With the exception of handbell and choir rehearsals I'm free to cook and create. So why am I sitting at the computer??

Gotta go!
