what I've been working on...

Just thought I'd share what I've been working on.  Derrek's grandma used to quilt a lot so I thought I'd try my hand at it and make her a special one for Christmas.  She seems to enjoy how I do dolls too so I made her a matching Annie.  We took them to her at the nursing home this afternoon and she really seemed to enjoy them.  I hope the quilt will help keep her warm this winter.  I backed it with fleece so it's nice and cozy.

update...

Just thought I'd share some pictures with you tonight.  The first is my quick attempt at getting the sunset from my studio window.  We were outside tonight and watched the sunset as we walked around and things.  It was so beautiful with purples and pinks.  Derrek always says that God is painting tonight when it looks like this.  It truly did look like He had a paint brush just making strokes all over the sky.  I got this quick picture as it was getting dark....so much prettier in person.  The sunrise is beautiful here too.  We have been very blessed to have such a view of the sunrise and sunset from our home.  I remember the builders telling us that they got here before daylight most mornings so they could watch the sunrise because it was the most beautiful they'd ever seen it.  The last few mornings the moon has still been out to watch as we walk around 6:30.  Just so wonderful!

Hope you have a wonderful night!
