Hello Friends!

This week was a lot of Christmas prep!  I worked a little each day on getting my Christmas cards written out and finally mailed them out on Saturday.  I also worked on wrapping my Christmas presents and putting them under the tree to add a little more excitement for our holiday.  I look for little gifts at our local thrift store and hid them away throughout the year.  Dd wanted a laptop for her studies as her gift this year, which was quite expensive, so she didn’t get as many gifts as usual.  I do want to help her be able to learn and grow.

Bible Studies: I’m really loving my studies!

Felt Birds:

Each year I sew felt birds and add them to my Christmas tree for a colorful decoration.  I also like to give some of them away to family or close friends.  I made one for Dd’s boyfriend this year.  I brought out all my felt and materials and got started this week!  So fun!  I sew the year with embroidery thread somewhere on the bird—on its belly or under or on a wing… this year was “2020.”

Dh & Woodshop:

Dh has been doing a good job making things in his workshop this fall.  He has made quite a few things already, this week he made a frame that holds his drills.  It is his therapy and refills his cup!

Hiking:

My dog Henry and I are back to hiking in our woods again each day instead of just the front roads.  I love our daily hikes together!
