Hi everyone,
One of the Sweet Sofa Sisters bought the Jacquie Lawson Advent calendar for me this year… and I just wanted to publicly thank them! How sweet of you! :o)
My sisters and hubby’s were here this last week and we had the best time! We always do and don’t take for granted the time we get to share together. When I was reading the comments from Friday, I was a little sad for those of you who have no sisters; only brothers, or those of you who live too far from your sisters or brothers to visit; or anyone who is an only child and doesn’t even know what it’s like to have a sister.
We are VERY blessed to be so close to each other and just have so much fun when we are together.
They helped me sort out a few Christmas gifts for some children, and then they helped me sort out my closet…the tops and pants. We cooked a few meals together, went to our favorite high school pizza hang out, went shopping (of course), shared a few Christmas gifts between us, had a wonderful time visiting with cousins at the Memorial Service Saturday, and shared stories and memories like we always do. My brother wasn’t able to make it down, and we missed him.
My sisters left Sunday and I had to change up the bedrooms and get things back the way they were so it left very little time for sewing… However, I did get a little bit done… I managed to get the facing on the back of Rebecca’s dress, but that was all… It’s ten minutes till midnight, so I’m just going to have to let this be it for today… but I do have a question for you after the two pictures…
Look at that “match job!” Made my day! (well, sort of!) :o)
Okay, here’s a question for everyone to answer if they want!
We got our first snow flurries Saturday on our way to the Memorial Service…
Who has had snowfall where they live and how much did you receive?
I’ll see you all tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
Unless Charlotte is writing, I guess I am first! I can’t believe I skipped Fridays blog! We had such a crazy week, with two Thanksgiving celebrations two days in a row, that I somehow thought Friday was Saturday! I love that painting on your fireplace with the littl house that Susette gave you right in front of it! It looks like it jumped right out of the picture, and belonged there!
It was good to hear that you and your sisters had such a wonderful time together, Jeanne! I did get to see my youngest sister and most of her family at one of our Thanksgiving get togethers. She lives close to me, unlike the other two, one of which is in Arizona.
As far as snow goes, we got a bit over 3 inches! It was an all day snowfall, but very light and delicate, plus it did not cover up the driveways and sidewalks, so it was very pretty watching ti come down, and really got us into the Christmas mode as I was decorating. I had the Mizzou football game on, and it was also snowing in Columbia, which made for an exciting game, plus we won!
We have new neighbors that moved here from New Orleans this past summer, and they were all outside taking pictures and building snowmen! It was fun seeing them enjoy something they probably never saw much of before!
That is an incredible match job you did for the back of the dress! It takes a true seamstress to make that happen!
