almost done

well the shopping has been done, the house is getting cleaned and decluttered before the relatives arrive and the gingerbread house is done….I made this from scratch and next year might get a kit as I spent more time making the gingerbread pieces than I did putting it together and decorating it!!!!!! Thank goodness keira is 3 and thinks it’s fabulous!

my first gingerbread house

and the quilt, the quilt is done! well, almost! a few threads to trim, a few sections need a quick fill in and a label needs to be attached but the binding is done and here it is……..

and the back where I really need to trim threads and fill in a few spots!!!!

And if you don’t come back before christmas then Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful time with your families, eat lots and be merry! I love Christmas and I’ll be back tomorrow night to share pictures of ours!
