WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays
How was your Christmas?
Ours was hot. We had turkey and were hoping right until the last minute to do everything inside, but a forecast of 36c meant that we decided to cook everything outside on the BBQ. It was the only way to go. In my household, Christmas is always hectic, for right after the day itself it's straight into preparations for my youngest DD's birthday and it's a super busy time all round. The stinking heat just makes everything seem harder. Mind you, we have air conditioning so I shouldn't complain, but we do all feel fatigued and I can't wait for this hot spell to pass.
Hope you're all having a beautifully calm, family focused break. As for me, I'm grateful that my DH stocked up well before Christmas which means we don't have to venture out into the crazy sales and rush that's going on right now.
It's the last Wednesday for the year!
What are you up to today?
I am glad it's over too Esther. Wishing you and your Family a very Hapoy New Year. Hoping all your dreams will come true. I am so grateful to be I this group😘
ReplyDeleteAh.....I"ve got a day after Christmas baby too (age 34 this year) Though I don't have to contend with oppressive heat.....too busy chopping ice in the driveway so the kiddo's don't bust their tailbone coming up to the door. Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHope that you have some cooler weather soon! Thank you for another super year, Esther, sharing your quilting life - and some of your 'real' life too! Best wishes for 2017!
ReplyDeletewe had a warm couple of days after Christmas and had the windows open - that doesn't usually happen here. Sounds like you had a good day even with your high heat.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the heat for the holidays. Here in the Midwest of USA, we have cold and snow. And although today we don't have the negative numbers ( Fahrenheit), we did last week.I love seeing your traditional foods.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas too and also glad it's over. One of these years I will not wait until the last minute to sew up gifts!
ReplyDeleteToday is a family portrait...at the Art museum gardens... first time done with the present generations. Everyone one has their idea of what black and blue means. Hopefully the photographer will be able to pull it all together. And after this..... the holiday is OVER as far as I am concern. It has been a wonderful week but the three weeks before were killers to get enough finished... I never get it ALL finished. Interesting that so many of our generation are tired, fatigued, etc.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas and New Year. I don't know what I would do if it were hot on Christmas. It was snowing and blowing here in Idaho, about a foot to 15 inches. Only one of the eight people we invited could get here, and my brother got snowed in here and stayed the night. It was a small party after all, but we had fun anyway. Have a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteDear Esther, we had such a mild day here on Christmas Day two of my DDILs were cold !!!! Thank you for a wonderful 2016 which you gave us fun, excitement laughter and so many challengers. Looking forward now to spending 2017 with you. Hugs Glenda
