It's begining to look a lot like Christmas...

My husband is up on a ladder right now putting up our Christmas lights. I cannot wait to see them in their full night-time glory.

Yesterday we visited Redwood city, as they trucked a couple tons of snow in for the California kids to experience "snow".

My son finally wore this little crochet hat that I made him last year, he loved it actually, so that was a nice surprise. Many snowballs were launched, and fun was had by all, including soggy me.

The taupe quilt for my mom below was mostly from a pattern book from Kumiko Fujita - ISBN4-579-11078-1. Kinokuniya can order this for you. Purl has a different book for sale by her.

The rest of the little blocks were from Elly's new smaller baltimore album book. Also a very nice resource book.

  1. Your little son looks too cute for words with his little beanie on.... I love the quilt that you made for your Mum, very beautiful work!! In reply to your comment on my blog.... I too have too many fabrics, but I'm sure that my pile would'nt be as big as yours so a couple more metres won't hurt... LOL

  3. Maybe not for kids, but snow fall is best experienced through a pretty window while sitting in front of a cozy fire!
