Last week I ordered 26 half yards of batik on sale and on Christmas Eve day they arrived! Well, 25 of them arrived plus one quarter yard piece. I’m not sure if it was a freebie or if it was all they had of the 26th piece. Whatever. Today I will wash, dry and iron them all and try to find a place to put them!

You can’t really see them, but the whitish ones on the left were ordered for the next piece I am anxious to get started on, Mountain Goat kids. There are some nice leaves against blue sky prints that I am always on the lookout for and general nature texture type stuff. They were photographed laying on the back side of the “Spring Burning” piece which is finished except for the beading which I got started on yesterday afternoon.

We are hoping to be able to have our family Christmas on Sunday, but by the looks of the snowdrifts this morning — I don’t know. It all depends on when the wind quits as even if the plow gets through the road will drift shut again as long as the wind blows.
