Midweek update

Here is where I am with the Frolic Mystery- again, not committed yet but you gotta have something to do when you can't sleep.  So, if I end up completing this quilt, it might be called "Insomnia".

Here's the majority of my cookie baking crew, all decked out and only slightly messy at this point.  It was a great time with family that I don't get much of anymore.  Treasured moments for sure!

Here are the pajamas for PJ day at school this week.  I made the shirt with my Cricut and the pants are warm and fuzzy.  Fun to wear!
Yesterday was flannel day and today is Christmas hat and sock day.  The fun goes on all week, trying to motivate students before they take finals next week.

Made a little progress on my Neat Ripple afghan.  The pattern is from Attic 24.  LOVE HER!  But I don't know how she makes such fast progress on her crochet.  It took me about 2.5 hours for 4.5 rows.

Hard to see but the above are the results of my GoodReads reading challenge for 2019.  40 books so far this year and still counting.

And, the solar panels have been installed but await the inspector's approval before they can come in to use.  I'm less than thrilled with the appearance but hopefully our cooling bill this summer will make up for it!

Gratitudes to get me through the week:  2 great kids who are working hard on college finals, a lovely home to keep us warm and cozy, an amazing spouse who puts up with all my craziness and crafts, Secret Santa week at work to remind us all what is most important- making others smile!  Being healthy enough to worry about getting healthier, canine companions who have been devoted friends for many years and will be greatly missed when they are gone which is almost certain to happen for a couple of them in 2020, a fresh new year on the horizon.  And lots of quilting a crochet projects to keep me busy!

Happy Hump Day!
