I think she was more difficult to capture in paint than Lola. We had a great time and felt we went home with a treasure. We were also gifted a wonderful tote from Land's End.
Since today was a rainy, dreary one I decided to finish up this little Christmas quilt.
I have had these hourglass blocks cut out for a couple of months and just kept getting distracted when it came to sewing them up. I really like the primitive look and it is already hanging on the wall by my small Christmas tree.
The mail this week brought a couple of treats. :o)
Mindi sent a lovely Christmas card and inside it were these lovely gold pins. They look so elegant and fitting for the season. The fabric postcard is from Norma. I always look forward to her Christmas cards. The picture doesn't capture the mica flakes on his beard and cuff - they add so much pizazz.
I hope you are all finished with your shopping and such and can sit back and relax in these final days before Christmas. I still have a lot to do but I refuse to get stressed about it. If it gets done...fine. If it doesn't...it will get done eventually.
Wishing you all a wonderful week. Please say a prayer for those families in CT. I have been thinking of them all weekend.

Oh Myra, you did go home with a treasure! What a great idea. Glitter looks wonderful, her eyes are beautiful. You are so artistic in many ways.
The quilt is lovely as are your treats.
This week is a busy one for me too.
Shopping is a little harder this year because "we don't really need or want anything, Mom"......oh, come on kids, work with me here!
The older they get, the more difficult gift ideas are, aren't they?
My heart goes out to Newtown. May God Bless their souls.
Each day is a gift that we seem to take for granted but need to cherish.
HUGS to you my friend

What a talent you've been hiding!! I love your portrait of Glitter!
Great kitty portrait! And I just love the little Christmas quilt! Very talented indeed.
What a dreary day it was indeed. The Christmas quilt looks great!
Myra! Wow first Lola, now Glitter. You have TALENT!! Fabulous. I am so jealous.
I am praying too.♥
Great portrait! I love that beautiful quilt too! You are multi-talented!
Hugs,
You are a very talented lady. The cat portrait is beautiful! Great little quilt stitching!
What a neat idea to do for a party--especially since you go home with a treasure. Love the painting! Your quilt is lovely, too.
Myra, I'm amazed at your portrait of Glitter! Honestly, the eyes are so professional looking and I always think they must be the hardest things to paint. I'm truly impressed as I can't even draw the most basic of stick figures :)
Your office party certainly is unique and I'm sure all the animal-loving people you work with really enjoyed it...
And your quilt is lovely--the perfect colors for this time of year...
I need to adopt your "no-stress" attitude next year (I'm afraid it's too late for this year :)
Great job on your painting and love the quilt. I have been praying for those families constantly. I can't stop thingking about those families and their poor little babies. When you send your children to school you don't think that they are not going to come home. My heart breaks for them.
Merry Christmas!
Maureen
What a fun gathering! Your picture is great ~ I have no talent when it comes to drawing and painting.
