Getting close......the Christmas Party, Color Me Rad and Furry Friends.

and still on target for all the Christmas quilts - yeah!

The Christmas party was a great success - some were too shy to want to be pictured in the blog, but most were fine!

 

Karen snuggling a soda (or a beer!).  Miss M.A. - thank you for coming!  And Jeeves with a shy husband who can't be seen.

 

A shy L. with a smiling R. behind the chair, the lovely Lindsay and yes Karen it is a beer!

 

Umh - meat and the handy slicer Mr. R.!

 

 

Just in case you drop something Mr. R - drop something Mr. R, pleeeeze!

 

Ms. J.P.'s lovely husband with soda - really it is soda.  Somehow Ms. J.P. managed to avoid the photo session - she was still working in the studio!

 

Karma Sensation Two again, but what a sensation this one is going to be when it's finished - watch this space.

 

The youngest guest at the party who obliged by saying cheese!  What a cutie.

 

                                         

 

The engineer took pictures at the 'Color Me Rad' 5k race that was in Columbia a few weeks ago so that I could post them! 

 

 

All nice and clean and ready to go!

 

Notice the sunglasses on the top of my head - to protect my eyes while they throw colored cornstarch and squirt colored liquids on you throughout the race.

 

Absolutely no comments about the rear view - I'll bite you!

 

 

Finally for today - I will post pictures of finished quilts later - the Hawaiian is coming along nicely.  All the bark work is complete in the blue and I am past the half way mark with the background echo meandering and the borders. 

 

 

Looking good to get it off the frame tomorrow so that I can load a very secret project that has been in the pipeline for quite a while and will be the basis of one of the next series.  So look out for the Karma Serendipity series (1 - 6) and Karma ??????? (1 - 6 or more) at the beginning of the year. 

And really finally (well almost) - a major meeting with the CPA on Thursday to discuss going forward with the PQ3000, the visa application for next year and some major plans for expansion in the quilt studio - it's going to be an exciting year and thanks for the visit today to S.H. (my favorite guinea pig) who, along with my mentor and chief cheerleader R.H., really motivates me and gets my creativity going!

 

Remembering the 'Maggie Moo' who died peacefully and at a great age last year - my favorite photo of the two of them.  There were (and still are) two holes in the screen door at the two different nose levels.

 

And not to be left out - the engineer's cat!  Wine calls.
