| Our dearly departed Lily |
Not much. Let's blame work, specifically the two back-to-back weeks of intensive classes I taught in December. Also, kittens. Well, we can't really blame them, but they are cute so I wanted a reason to put in a picture. We also lost a member of the family last fall, our lovely lab Lily, so now we are a four people, four cats, and one dog family.
I got precisely two items completed for Christmas and one item completed from LAST Christmas. This Christmas I completed a Christmas wall-hanging for my sister and brother-in-law (forgot to take a picture!) and this bag for my mom. I really, really wanted to keep it. The bag pattern is #ps016 Charm Party Tote designed by Penny Sturges (I didn't square the bottom) and I used Moda's Max & Whiskers 5" charm pack. So cute and I had the perfect buttons for it. Sadly, I can't get the fabric anymore, but I have a small bit left over and a friend has found a few squares stashed away she is willing to give me. Maybe I'll make myself a really small bag.

| Dad and his finally completed Pickles quilt |
The item I got finished from last Christmas was my dad's Pickles quilt! Yes, it sat uncompleted for over a year. I finally finished quilting and binding it between Christmas and New Year's and gave it to him New Year's day. I told him it is for him to use during those times he doesn't want to risk damaging the heirloom quilts my mom has made him :-)
