The amaryllis has begun to bloom.
On the tallest stack there are 2 really big red flowers, and 2 smaller buds that appear to be variegated red and white. The bud on the second stalk is getting bigger every day too. It has been fun to watch this grow.
There was no sewing at all on Saturday as we enjoyed the day at a girls' wrestling tournament, watching our granddaughter. She placed 3rd in her bracket, so we were very proud of her. She's a 7th grader, but had never tried wrestling before this year. But Sunday I spent part of the afternoon at my sewing machine working on the snowman door hanger.
The snowman's body remains to be pieced (today??), and then the sections sewn together. Finally there will be a border all around the outside. I'm optimistic that it will be a flimsy by the end of the day.
And my reward for getting the door hanger to the flimsy stage is this mini quilt. This one is a paper pieced snowflake that will finish 12" square. I hope to have this completely done to display for the month of January. We'll see if I reach that goal.
I may take a bit of a break over Christmas and just do a little handwork. We aren't doing our family get-together until next Saturday, but there is still plenty to do.

Congrats to your granddaughter - wrestling is a tough sport! your snowman is going to be so cute!!! Get er done ( haha!)
The star mini will be another beauty! Good for your granddaughter to try a new sport (and that you can watch her competitions). Merry Christmas to all the Fridleys.
Your amaryllis is beautiful, Sara! The snowman door hangar looks adorable - I really like the snowflake stars and that pretty background fabric. Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy whatever you decide to do!
Pretty amaryllis bloom! My Christmas will be a quiet one with plenty of time to work on a Christmas jigsaw puzzle.
I think you should plan a quilt using the colors in your amaryllis. You have two beautiful snow related projects going. (Is it going if you've picked the pattern?) Have a great holiday season.
I must get some coat hangers! Thanks for that idea mentioned in your last post, Sara. That Amaryllis is a gorgeous colour. Lovely projects on the go and how nice to watch the grandchildren doing the things they enjoy. We enjoy our little hockey player's games too. Enjoy the holidays!
Congrats to granddaughter on the the third place! That snowman is really cute and that star is very pretty. Enjoy the holiday and happy stitching. Merry Christmas!
Yes girls wrestling...about time that girls were included in every sport! I think your snowman is going to be really cute! Merry Christmas Eve!
Love those pretty blue projects!
The Amaryllis is so gorgeous and the perfect color for the season! Do you have any idea how long the blooms stay? Congrats to your GD! The snowman door hanger is coming right along.
Your Amaryllis is gorgeous! Your granddaughter sounds awesome! Good for her with that fantastic placement for the year. Ours is in archery and she loves it and is really good at it! Love the snowman runner! Very cute. Thanks for joining us at Monday Musings!
