Everything is relative

It's winter, or so says the calendar but the temperature has been in the 70's to 80's in Houston.  I check the webcam at my daughters school in Idaho, they have snow predicated for the next 5 days, and the temp is -1.  When the girls call they say they are so cold, and can't wait to come home...I tell them that I'm having to use the air conditioner because it's so warm, they say "what a dream".  I look at the images of their school with everything covered in snow, and I think what fun it would be, to be there.  How nice it would actually be, to be cold in the winter time.  But I have to confess, -1 is too cold for me. 

My Son and his family will be here on Friday, and my daughters should all be home by Saturday.  I cannot wait - I feel giddy I am so excited that they are coming home.  This is Alton's first Christmas!  As soon as I finish Alton's present I'll post it...little fabrics picture books (another Simply Quilts project).  His is the only present I can share - as he is the only who doesn't read, or check my blog...(ssshh...Lizzy's present is amazing!!!)

Isn't this drawing beautiful!  Lizzy made it years ago, it's curious how she is so drawn to drawing faces. 

Happy shopping, happy holiday baking, happy sewing - here's to getting it all done!

It's cold today here !! But I miss Denmark winter !! It was so great having a sauna and a tea in pyjama just after walking in the snow, cutting and carrying the christmas tree. I prefer cold weather than warm one.
I am looking forward to see the fabrics picture book. I have one christmas pattern... May be it is too late... but I'll send you by email.
