I managed to get my beachy Christmas quilt finished and hung this morning. I think it will be our final Christmas decoration for this year. I know it looks like I have empty shelves but those are the cat’s highway to the living room. When the dogs are loose in the house, she stays off the floor on our first level.

It provides pockets on both sides. Then I looked at a few different places in town for a gingerbread button and found NOTHING. So, I will be keeping an eye out for one…
