Well... Amarillo could have gotten hit a lot harder by the "blizzard of 2015" but it *kind of* missed us. Yes, we got 40 mph winds crazy blowing snow... BUT instead of feet we got inches.
Friona and a few other small towns got slammed but luckily we were able to get out after a day or so.
Meanwhile...
view out our front door on December 27th.
I seized the opportunity to start on MY arts & crafts project that Mary gave me for Christmas.
At least 35 years ago Mary designed a stocking for Ben & Dorothy and their grandmother, Nannie sewed them.
A few years ago Shanny found Ben's stocking in the attic and gave it to me.
When I found out that Mary initially designed them, I asked if she might design a few more for the kids and me... I mentioned it several other random times (i.e. when we were there last spring break and around Thanksgiving) but kind of put it out of my mind and thought we might talk about it again at some point.
To my delight, THIS fell in my lap on Christmas morning.
THE BEST Christmas gift that I have received in a LONG time.
Not only did Mary sketch everything out on hemmed fabric, she colored everything, making it super-easy to follow, bought all of the yarn, and provided tapestry needles and scissors.
this happened ALL DAY LONG
Kaden worked on his own sewing project for a little bit.
... and made a whole lot of minions with his new pearler beads.
a little bit done.
Not sure how long this project of sewing over her sketches will take, but it's been so fun to get started.
