Introspection

As I'm sitting here in the heat

I is about 83 downstairs and I imagine 5- 10 degrees hotter upstairs, I'm looking for the joy of Christmas.

Our little tree.

Somehow we have two trees and no one knows why.

this was the first one found, and is smaller than the other one.

I got all the decorations on it, so it is full and pretty. 

We had Christmas with my Mom on the 24th.

She was not all that able to do anything, like feed herself or open packages.

She was happy and it was fun to be around her. 

This is a family PJ photo from Christmas eve.

I was so hot with long sleeves on.

The air conditioner should have been on today.

Tomorrow they open again to get the part out and get it repaired.

I'm praying they have the part in stock.

It is supposed to cool off later in the week.

I have much to be thankful for.

Family that loves me.

A roof over my head.

Food in my tummy.

A quilting studio that is fun to be in.

The ability to homeschool my daughter.

Internet friends.

Many other blessings.

Praying 2017 is a year of blessing for all.

To make this a little quilty.

This is the plate microwave potholder that I made for the family.

I made a blue bowl microwave potholder that DD has been asking for too.

These would be wonderful to make for craft fairs and such.
