Merry Christmas! It is December 25th on my side of the world. The day is cold and bright, no snow yet. The house is filled with good smells thanks to my baking marathon yesterday. I made a couple hundred cookies for the Christmas Eve service. I did NOT make this Christmas cake, but it was delicious! Coffee flavored frosting!
I also finished Tetsu's vest, and it FITS! (sometimes it doesn't) It doesn't look like it gave me all the problems it gave me. I will see if I can get Tetsu to model it later this week.
And yesterday a package arrived from Sina with some BEAUTIFUL batik fabric and a ruler to make Fat Cats! One of my first presents to myself is going to be time to do some sewing and use her beautiful gift. Thank you Sina!
Crosswalk duty and English is finished for the year. Next projects are to send out cards and clean the house. I will NOT be getting to those today. I'm RELAXING!

Back in the yard for this 2004 New Year's picture. Since we live next to a forest a common job is sweeping up leaves during the fall so I guess that is when we took this picture. Lemi, Zorro and Vel on the piano. Shoko on her favorite sofa. Wow, I think Takumi was 18 and Leiya 14 that year!

Merry Christmas Tanya!
Three Christmas eve services cut into the baking time. Time to get busy with that as soon as I finish my morning coffee. Maybe we can get our New Years picture today when the gang is assembled.
Merry Christmas Tanya, so glad that Tetsu's vest fits! What a lovely package you got!
Merry Christmas Tanya!... I too have been making treats for Christmas. I made every kind of fudge that you can imagine. I am tired and my neck has a kink in it. Did you get the Christmas card that I sent to you? I love the sweater that you made for Tetsu. I don't know how to knit. I love the old New Years cards that you have been posting. Happy New Year!!!
Merry Christmas Tanya! May God richly bless you and your family in the new year. Thanks for sharing your life experiences with us.
Many Christmas Blessings, Tanya! Your postcard pictures have been fun to see :-}pokey
Merry Christmas! As the others have said, I've enjoyed seeing your family grow.
Merry Christmas Tanya!!!
Merry Christmas Tanya. A day of relaxation and eating sounds like a great plan.
Merry Christmas from California! Your perseverance on the knitted vest paid off. Often after I've struggled with a quilt or knitted item I can't tell later when it's done what all the fuss was about!
Merry Christmas--hope you find time soon to play with fabric! The vest looks really good, nice colors. I got Word Play Quilts from my daughter for Christmas and saw Leiya's quilt in the book. Wonderful! Amazing that was your first try at word piecing.
