These are table runners I made: one for my daughter and the other for my daughter-in-law. They are small, but should work well on a side table or something similar.
They are essentially the same on the front, but the backings are different.
We had such a nice time today. The grands are getting so big; our oldest is already in Middle School, and it won't seem like very long before the other two are that old, also. It was great having them here along with our son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law. The only thing that would have made it better is if our other son could have been here. Hopefully, next year he will be.
We had our traditional Christmas meal of Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes & gravy, lefse, my Gram's fruit salad, and a couple of other things. Oh, and of course, pickled herring which, as it turns out, no one but Mr. M and I like. For the past few years, our daughter-in-law has brought a really good homemade pecan pie for dessert, Mr. M's favorite. This year our son was up early this morning, so he made it. He did well.
I hope you all have a very wonderful Christmas this year.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and for stopping by.
DeleteLovely runners!
ReplyDeleteThank you; glad you stopped by.
DeleteI have just discovered your site tonight and commented about my new Janome 8900. But this is so funny reading your other blogs. I married a Swede! We have a swedish smorgasborg every Dec 24th with meatballs, pickled herring that no one eats but my mother-in-law and some risk=taking relative willing to be dared. This year we found a song called Lutefisk that we all sang - very funny. BUT - we do not usually serve meatballs with gravy - an ongoing debate!
ReplyDeleteOh, how interesting! Both sets of my great-grandparents on my dad's side came here from Sweden in the late 1800s. My dad was 100% Swedish, but I'm only half because my mother's family came from England. We always have leaned more toward Swedish-type food for the holidays. One year I suggested that we try something else, but that idea was nixed by the whole family. So we continue with the tradition.
DeleteThank you so much for stopping by my blog.
