Almost ready for Christmas!

The Christmas cake is baked and only needs it's icing, the Christmas lights are hanging in front of the window for weeks already and the Christmas tree is decorated in my favorite color turquoise this year! Christmas songs are playing on the radio, why am I not in a Christmas mood yet? Outside it looks like autumn, it rains and rains and rains............

Some Christmas presents......

At last I managed to finish some Crazy Quilted Christmas hearts, they will go in the mail tomorrow. I was planning to make much more, but they'll have to wait until next year.....
Life is just to busy with work and taking care for my mother at this moment! I am happy if I find some time to stitch in the evening, luckely I don't have to work the week of Christmas, I am already looking forward to that!

Winter has come......
