Santa Has Left the Building

I'm usually a little sad when the holidays are finally over, but not this year. It has been a rough time for me. Lots of planning and cooking at a time when I would have rather stayed in bed. But it was fun too, celebrating with family and friends and eating too much. But I am glad it's over (actually, this is really only the tenth day of Christmas, 10 out of 12, but that's enough for me). I even have all my decoration down and put away. I didn't do a lot of decorating this year. Just my tabletop tree, a couple of Santa quilts, and a few other geegaws here and there.

Yesterday I hosted the first meeting of the New Year of my quilting bee. I stressed a little about it. I was afraid my house wasn't spruced up enough. But it seemed to suffice, and everyone enjoyed the food and fellowship. And, as someone once said, what difference will it make a hundred years from now?

Below are a few pictures I took yesterday during our show-and-tell.
