Well I started this blog 4 hours ago. LOL! I got totally distracted by my sister. Can’t believe we talked for so long. Interesting (as always) about leaving legacy behind for our kids – from a family cookbook, life story, and many other ideas. Which obviously talking about those who have passed and us not getting important information from those loved ones to pass on to the next generation and beyond.

Hi Everyone! This is Simba and I am writing this week’s blog because Mom is in the sewing studio. (She was busy with the holidays and is now getting some fun time in the sewing studio.) I asked her if it was okay (since we are co-bloggers) to write this week. She told me to give it a whirl. So here we go….

Happy Holidays Everyone! Christmas is just two short days away and I finally got my Christmas tree up. I am so behind on all things Christmas. Tomorrow I am hosting Christmas Eve dinner. We went from 2 people to 6!! It looks like I will be headed to the grocery store tomorrow. I wish all of you a stress free holiday!

The holidays are closing in fast. I got to listen to the Willow Glen High School Band and Choir Christmas Performance this week. It was fabulous. My grandson was in it; not that he wanted to be. Lol! He is 15 and has choir this year but hates ever moment. Wish he could loosen up and just enjoy it.

I had an unexpected turn this week on one of my 2020 Christmas projects. All will be revealed below. Meanwhile, I am enjoying all the stitchy fun of the holiday season. Fall and Winter are my favorite time to stitch!

I want to thank Linda over at texasquiltgal.com for hosting the To Do Tuesday linky party. She is stepping down at the end of the year. She has been an amazing host with a lot of encouragement and upbeat comments to everyone who links up. Thank you Linda for being an amazing hostess!

Things have gone very well this past week. I am trying to make sure I touch all of my active WIPS this month. I use to rotate through the WIPS but I found that it was taking forever to finish projects, but I made progress on everything. The month of December I am attempting a hybrid approach. I plan on making sure I work on everything this month, but continuing to work daily on things that close to being finished. Only time will tell if this is going to work.

While I got caught up in all of my cross stitch Christmas projects, I finally sat down to work on my quilty projects. I made progress but not quite what I was expecting to finish. December has always been a flurry of activity where I finish up a bunch of stuff that has been hanging around.

Due to travel last year, that never happened. But this year, I have HIGH hopes to knock quite a few almost dones off the list before hitting the road again in January.

So happy with how this week has gone. I wrapped up November finishing 4 WIPS and only starting 3. So that means my WIPS are down to 21. I am not sure if I will reach last year end’s number but I am feeling pretty good about the outcome.

To Do Tuesday #30

Hope everyone had a good holiday with friends and family. It is good to be home!

I went to Seattle to spend the holiday with my daughter so she wouldn’t be alone. We did a 5k Turkey Trot in the morning to get things rolling which caused me to be stiff as all heck the next couple of days. I am finally back to normal today.
