New quartz countertops!

I am doing a happy dance because my countertops are now installed. After four long months of waiting, they finally are here from Italy and in place. The new sink is so nice and deep; I'll now be able to wash all of my large pots and pans without cocking them sideways. I have wanted a sink like this for 26 years! Please rejoice with me!!! Here are a couple of shots so you can see how much nicer they are than the lovely plywood counters we had.

I am working fast and furiously on finishing up my Christmas stitching. Here is a picture of some flour sack towels I embroidered for my small group members, a SIL, and one even for myself for my new kitchen. I forgot to take pictures of some golf towels I did for my BIL and a scarf for an "adopted" niece. Oh, well... I'm trying to stay out of the way while my countertops are finally being installed. Dingo is having a nervous fit with all the noise and commotion, but I am delighted! I'll post a picture when everything is cleaned up.

I finished up the aprons for my SILs today. PTL!!! Here are pictures of the finished aprons. Carrie is quite the pie baker and Lie likes to make breads and rolls. I hope they enjoy using these aprons. (Gobbi said he would take them back if they don't, but I don't know what HE would do with them!)

Some new projects

With Thanksgiving behind us, I have been getting serious about my Christmas stitching. Here are some of my latest projects--Thanksgiving turkey tealight covers, an apron for my SIL, a fleece blanket for another SIL, and some free-standing lace ornament for some of my nieces.
