    On to the next round of Christmas stockings! Got both DDs and one SinL fabrics yesterday. Here's what I ordered from Etsy for moi. Still have to get fabric for DH and my two step granddaughters. They will be here over Easter so I plan to take them shopping for fabric then.

    I think so too Blessings. Some may say that's too childish for an adult, but this grandma refuses to grow up, especially at Christmas time! Nerdy

    Ignore the childish part. I'm working on a new bright quilt (for me) that would probably be considered rather unsophisticated/juvenile, but it makes me happy.

    Chrissyb, I asked my DH and he thought it was sweet and very appropriate for Christmas. I'm going for it!

    I really wish we had like buttons on here because there are so many posts I would like to like or better yet, LOVE!

    I am still in the back brace, the ortho says I have to wear it for 4 or 5 more months.  I have been told I am a patient person but this is testing me.   I do go back to PT this week and hope to get some strength back.

    Love Ginger

    I love the snowflake afghan and the rainbow booties.  Oh how I wish I had more time to sew.

    Barbe the brace is to let my vertebrae heal, it is broken from the car accident last September 3rd.  I am in less pain now but if I stand it hurts pretty quickly. I can actually walk with less pain. The Ortho says I will not need surgery and to be patient.   We are going on an all family vacation to Lake Barkley in Kentucky and I hope I am moving better by end of June when we go. This will be with all the grands together for the first time. I just told the littlest that I have three other Grandchildren and she looked stunned.  I put the two girls on the phone together and they were just chattering away so I think it will all be good.     

    Zoe has learned to stitch on a little plastic canvas, she is so proud.

    Ginger, I have some much younger first cousins. I can still remember laughing when one was about four (she was Grandad's baby) and I told her that he was my granddad too. She just kind of glared at me. She was not happy with the idea of having to "share" him.

    Love all the pictures. 

    I am having a rest from quilting as my hands and back get very tired.

    That's going to be beautiful, Melissa.  I wonder how I could get more time out of my day.  With my commute I am gone from 6:30 to 5:30 which leaves 3.5 hours to prepare dinner, do household chores and do what I would like.
