Had a lot of fun yesterday. Most of our time was spent at the Abby Aldrich Rockerfeller Folk Art Center, where we saw the quilt exhibits, and learned about the preservation and storage of their pieces. Lots of gorgeous quilts and quilted costumes! We also spent time in the rest of the museum, including the Wallace Decorative Arts section. Lots of dollhouses!

Most of my pics are here at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=8998&id=1763362454&l=8ef65dd1c6 , but some of my favorites are under the cut.

...So I got myself a gorgeous new dress for Christmas Eve. Got a good price, too. 50% off is always good. :p Yay, Dress Barn! This will be a great dress for special events.



Looks good on me, too. It's my color. And it fit perfectly.

Cookies, anyone? This is the sampler tray I'm giving my hairdresser:



My best sugar cookies ever (she says modestly...:p), fruit drops, ginger snaps, cherry tea cakes, Italian rainbow cookies, and chocolate crinkles.

Finally- a blast from the past. My stocking from when I was a little girl. I can't believe Mom still had it!

I survived yet another Carol Service. It went well, but I'm exhausted! The bells weren't too good at the beginning of our piece, but the congregation loved it anyway. And the kids were adorable as usual. There was a lot of wonderful music. Now all I have to worry about choir-wise is Christmas Eve.

The smell was so tempting I abandoned my plan for a hot chocolate and went for the tea instead. I'll save the other for Christmas Day!

The food was delicious but Thai just doesn't seem very festive. It's also the first Christmas party I've been to that didn't involve alcohol.

Overall, pleasant but not memorable.

It fits like a glove - very nice.

It's just that I've had entire suits that cost less than it did, or would have done had I not won it :D

Ordered a bespoke suit though. Can't wait.

My trees are done, and we had snow this week. Oh, joy. Later this week, Mom and I are baking cookies together!

The "Barrel Man" has died. He was one Denver Broncos fan who just stood out from all the rest of us. Not hard to do if you wear nothing but an orange barrel and a hat to every game! I saw him at a couple of games I went to. Always fun to see someone so enthusiastic about their team!

Just had a very nice lunch with my old CHairman and his wife, and my old Chief Executive and her kids. Excellent food and really nice to catch up with everybody again.

I have created a new filter for my crazy elitist liberal rantings. :p If anyone wants in, let me know.
