BACK HOME!

We arrived back home in Texas on Monday afternoon and were glad to be here.  We hated to leave.    Abigail bounces when she runs and it's so cute.  DS said that she stood at the window asking DIL, "Where is Grandma and Grandpa?"  It breaks your heart.  Jonah told any visitors who came to see Eli that he got to eat lunch in the camper with Grandpa.  We hope to go back for a short visit in March.
Jonah made his first snowman on Monday.  The snow didn't stick together very good, so they made a short one, which was great for Jonah.
I won a quilting calendar from Ann!  Her quilt is featured in October.  Check our her blog here.  Thanks so much, Ann.  
I have it hanging in my sewing room.
My sister gave me this quilting calendar for Christmas!
It's hanging in our kitchen/dining room.  Both calendars have the patterns for all the featured quilts.
This is a knick knack shelf that I have hanging in my sewing room.  I have a small collection of chickens on nests.  I found 2 at a thrift shop in Florida for a really good price.  They are the 2 bronze colored ones.  The pink one was given to me by my Grandmother sometime in the 50's. and the other ones I got at thrift shops.
Here's a close-up of the pink one and one of the bronze colored ones.  The bronze one's basket is mis-shapen.  I didn't notice that when I got it, but I don't mind.  

Yesterday, we washed clothes, opened mail, paid bills, etc.  I also did some sewing and will take pictures of what I made and will post again soon.
