Alice and Christmas socks

Spent the day playing with Alice while her parents went and got their Christmas tree and decorated-we had the very important job of supervising! I feel somewhat sad, that my mom did not live to share this first Christmas with Alice-in fact, she missed her birth all together. This is such a beloved child by all of us - we all feel so lucky she is such a happy baby and in our lives.
So- here is today's photo of miss Alice Wonderful...busy playing..and socks..the red one belongs to her...the others are now in the mail on their way to Texas. This week I will start decorating for Christmas and with luck may even finish a Christmas themed ufo. No, I don't mean I can finish it in a week, I mean I will work on it until Christmas! I have all the squares cut for my scrap project and that leaves many, many triangles still waiting-I think I will use the scrappy quilt project as a leaders/enders while working on the Christmas ufo...I need to feel some quilting progress being made! life has just been hectic with....life stuff.
