Happy New Year! It's always nice to have an early finish for the year. I often play with leftovers, making small mats/wall art. There were a bunch of red and cream four patches from a beloved Minnick and Simpson print. Some leftover flying geese pieces in white and green joined the party.
The sunflower print from stash matched so well for the narrow binding, after some stitch in the ditch quilting. Today's task will be to hand stitch the binding, after taking down the Christmas Tree. Yesterday I spent hours removing all the other Christmas decor--storage bin repacking Tetris always takes longer than you think!
Normally we go down to Surfer's Point for a sunset beach walk on the last day of the year, but 2022 brought a lot of rain on 12/31 so there was no sunset to see. Yesterday it was very very windy, but we headed to the Harbor mouth to catch the last rays.
The wind was about 25-30 mph and the sand was coming off the beach in waves. The gulls were having trouble flying straight and no pelicans were around.
The tide was in and crashing over the jetty protecting our manmade harbor. I got out of the car to take a couple of pics but soon ran back with a faceful of sand! This beachwalker had a hood pulled tight :)
Alright, time to pull ornaments off the tree....

Already? I suggested to my husband too that we think about taking down Christmas things but he feels that it took so much to get them up we should leave them that way for a few more days. Well, no one but us is around to see whether we are in the right season or not...
