Winter makes me lazy. I feel like I'm resting on a cloud and just floating along, all snug in a rug, just enjoying the winter skies of grays and whites and touches of blue. I like the way the tree branches show against the winter sky. I think of all the squirrels and birds hiding out in the trees in their little cubby holes or nests. Only coming out to feed or enjoy the sun when it breaks through. The birds are still singing even though it's cold. Not cheek freezing cold, but cold enough to keep me indoors with a quilt in my lap, stitching the binding on and watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. Oh my, how many of them have I seen this season? I really enjoyed A Biltmore Christmas. I've been to Biltmore House so I think I have a soft spot for it. It seems a little silly when you compare it to the estates in Europe that are hundreds of years old, but the interior is beautiful.

I want to bake something. I'm thinking maybe this recipe. I want to use butter instead of shortening. I have a friend who makes the best biscuits and he always uses grated butter. 

I finally finished sewing the binding on my nieces quilt. It turned out prettier than I thought it would. I really like it.  It is so colorful and fun. I hope she likes it. It took three days to sew the binding, my arthritic fingers are glad I'm done!

It's quilted with stars and clouds. So cute. 

I hope you're having a great day, thanks for stopping by!
