Colonial Wreaths and Snippets from the Past Week

My blogging time grows short, so let me capture a few short snippets from the past week:

--We made a quick trip to Williamsburg, Virginia, where my mom and dad live.  It was a good family reunion time.

--Last year I wanted to see the wreaths at Colonial Williamsburg, and we got there just in time to see the last ones being taken down.  This year we had more success.  I was captivated by the wreaths (look at the horseshoe crab shell in the one above!), but not so much by the crowds.

--All of the colonial wreaths made me want to do more with wreaths using decorations collected in the yard.  Maybe next year.

--It was astonishingly warm for late December.  Our luck will not hold in that area--frigid cold is on the way, and I do not look forward to it.

--Yesterday we had a non-Wednesday quilting session with the local Lutheran church.  What a treat to assemble this way one more time before my schedule heats up!  We got a lot done.  I am most impressed with our getting one room of fabric sorted into bins by color.  Of course, there's a whole other room yet to sort.  

--Today, at least one friend is coming over to play with Epiphany crafting ideas.  I am making Epiphany stars for this Sunday.  Fun!
