Adam and Eve

Don't you love Adam and Eve?  I do.

This is where I am on Adam and Eve by the Scarlett House.  I've finished all the motifs and now am working my way up to the top with pretty alphabets in red.  It's such a pretty piece!

I got a lovely gift from Laurie of Corgi Cottage.  It's a beautiful handmade laying tool from Kathy of The Unbroken Thread, made by her father. Kathy had a giveaway for two laying tools.  The winner got to keep one and give the other to a friend.  And I am the lucky friend! I know I am going to get a lot of use out of it for a future project.

Thank you, Laurie, and thank you to Kathy too, for having such a wonderful giveaway!  I'm so thrilled to have such a lovely piece!

Christmas break is flying by here.  Two more weeks and we have to take the boy child back to Boston. We've been having good times though.

Celebrated Christmas.

Made dumplings on New Years Day.

We even made it to the mall yesterday for our Johnny Rockets fix.

We also stopped by the Lego store and the boys got nostalgic.

The boy child and Mia have been having their love tussles too.

The father type had to go back to work the day after New Years.  It was nice having him home on vacation.

Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi.  I hope 2013 is getting off to a good start for everyone!

Christmas Eve

I am taking a quick pause from festivities to post a quick blog.  I seem a bit scattered right now, even with my stitching.  I ended up starting two different projects this past week.  The first

This is such a pretty piece!  The second

And here is what the Adam and Eve looks like, from Tanya's blog.

Pretty, right?

We are celebrating Christmas with our kids now.  The father type and I had to drive up to Boston to get the boy child Thursday, and Friday we came home.  We took a bit of time to wander Newbury Street with the boy child while we were there.  Stopped at one of the 3 cupcake places for cupcakes, Georgetown Cupcakes.

And wandered into bookshops

And just enjoyed the lights.

The girl child came home Sunday, so we are all together again.  We even went to see The Hobbit today.  Yay!

And right now we are making Christmas cookies, another tradition in the family.

I am going back to enjoy the celebrating.  Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi.  I hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful, magical, special Christmas.
