Another terrific sunrise this week.
Dramatic, overcast with some sun.
We have had a lot of dreary overcast days since snow arrived which makes winter a little harder to take.
Sunny Alberta is missing so I just had to take a hint of sunshine when it arrived.
The first candle of Advent is HOPE. It symbolizes hope and the promises made by God especially the coming Messiah.
I need to read my Ann Voskamp book which provides information for preparing for Christmas during this Advent Season.
I dressed up to sit in a cold arena and watched the last period of the game and his team won!
There were a couple of options for lunch so we headed to the pub for lunch.
The food was very good and I shared Butter Chicken with a sister.
I was able to get home before the sun went down which I was very happy about.
We had a good visit - Christmas, trips planned, next Christmas which will be a large one, my niece's new job and much more.
It's a long piece of fabric where you fold in both ends of the fabric. Then press the ends even which folds the remaining fabric in half with a fold at the bottom.
Top stitch both sides closed and your are done. She put ribbon on hers I did not.
I did add some accent fabric on the front piece after I folded but before I sewed the side seams. Needs refinement I would say but I was able to fill mine and have them ready which was the goal.
Everyone brought a dish and we shared a meal with our neighbors.
As always the food was very good and there was plenty. I had one helping leftover of my scalloped potatoes. I brought home a piece of chicken and chocolate cheesecake.
It was a very good time.
Looking forward to next year when I am sure I will know more people.
