The United Methodist Women had their holiday luncheon on Thursday.
In years past I've made ornaments as favors but this year I made coasters. (20 coasters, 5" squares = 2 yards of fabric used!)
Thursday evening I went to my friend Erika's P.E.O. chapter's holiday party.
At both parties we exchanged white elephant gifts. I was happy to pass along some perfectly nice items I did not want. In return, both times, I got candy.
(Yes, I hang out with middle-aged/older white women. I fit the demographic.)
At church this morning the kids performed the Christmas play. The theme was superheroes. They had a meeting to talk about the new superhero who was coming -- sent by "Mr. G. O. D." After they met Mary and Joseph ("Why didn't you call ahead for reservations?" Mary asked) and, with the help of the shepherds (played by two moms since the kids wanted to be superheroes) they realized that "We will save ordinary citizens. You, Jesus, will save all the world!"

I finished Bookshelf #38 (or is it #39?) for Pat, who's retiring from ZBPL. The party is this coming Wednesday. This is my OMG for December. (Click on the label on the sidebar to see other examples.)

I made 9 scrappy purple sawtooth stars for the December Block Lotto.
Here's the wonky house for the December guild BOM.
And, hooray -- this week's Good Fortune clue was fun and easy! Here are the orange string-pieced blocks.
