Happy New Year

Hope you all had a great Christmas with family and friends. We had my husband's family here Christmas Day, all 20 of us, including the newest addition, our 6 month old great nephew. The next day we were at my sister's where we did our annual handmade gift exchange, this year it was tree ornaments.

Here are some of the ornaments we exchanged...

This winter has been very cold, -30 celcious has not been unusual! I'm not a great cook but this has been a soup making winter.

I have sewn a lap quilt top using Amy Butler fabric

And a wallhanging using solid fabrics

I got a nice surprise of beautiful gerbera daisies from my husband which helped warm up the cold days.
