Celebrate……Every day there’s reason to celebrate. Some days it just takes longer to find that reason. I found out Monday that the place I work will take down time between Christmas and the New Year. The pay cut is tough but my kids will still go to school, the jeep will still have gasoline and there will still be a house --- warm with a refrigerator full of food. It could be so much worse. It’s just temporary but I’m a realist---it could turn into permanent down the road. But for now we will celebrate and say it will be family and quilt time at home. Once my kids get home for Christmas the snow can fall by the tons because there’s plenty of fabric and we will be snug inside.
I just pulled the pecan pie out of the oven. The Turkey goes in bright and early in the morning. Chelsey should be home around 9 or 10. Eric had a safe trip home.
Here are the next to last blocks to the Four Seasons Quilt I’ve worked on throughout 2008. I’m excited about the completion. I have a couple of Christmas presents have been stitched, but I can’t post until later. They are surprises.
I hope everyone takes time out to appreciate the goodness in all of our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving…..

Happy Thanksgiving to you all and take care...
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a fun time with the kids back home with you *s*
Any snow? We are getting rain!
Oh you are keeping up so well with the packages, I just finished the Summer house and bird and need to do the machine work, then the little parts before I can begin Fall.
I think everyone is suffering a bit from the changes over the last few months. We are anxiously waiting for who might buy hubby's workplace and hoping it's a good company and one that want to keep it open and working. The new year will come with lots of surprises for us too. You have a great attitude about the unexpected "vacation" time. Have a great day with the kids.
Home, safe with your family makes up for so many things out there in the world!
Enjoy them while you can.

Pecan pie?!? Got any vanilla ice cream? I'm coming right over! ;o) I'm sure you will find lots to do during your off time. Lovely blocks! Keep well!
Welcome back. I love the way you've decorated your house. I really like the two stitcheries you showed in this Thanksgiving post, too. Very nice work.
Can you tell me where you got the patterns for the Four Seasons Quilt?
Thank You
