Christmas

 OMG! I have been so busy that I did not realize how long it had been! And I just got interrupted with an hour long call from a classmate who calls annually to wish us a Merry Christmas.  Truly I am blessed to have friends who stay in touch after nearly 55 years.  Yikes! Has it been that long since high school graduation?  I have been baking.....numerous kinds of goodies and will package them to deliver to neighbors and friends this week.  I started later this year.  Had lunch with 20 plus prior school dist employees from Rawlins who are now residents here, and visited with neighbors for coffee and am working on quilt projects and below my latest project.  I actually had to make a list this morning in order to get everything done today.  Got the dogs bathed, peanut butter buckeyes finished , three loads of laundry, this blog, my daughter called, krautburger filling ready for the bread I have yet to make plus a million other things.  I simply do not have enough time in my day.

So at a cute shop last weekend with a friend who came to spend the weekend, I found this turned piece for $8.00 and had a snapshot of a porch angel I wanted make.  The Mr. immediately set to work on it.  Love him!  The base is from a brass lamp we were scrapping, the wings from a pallet piece and the arms were from two stairway pieces that I have been dragging with me for years. I will try to finish this blog later this week but gotta go and get my bread made.
