Oregon is so, so pretty. I'd kill myself if I had to spend an entire winter there.

We went to visit my Dad & Stepmom. Dash has only seen them a few times, but the love between them is big and runs deep.

Here's the quilt I made for my Dad for his 70th birthday (which falls on Christmas Eve--2 for 1, yo!). Dash drew some pictures (that one is him in the middle with the kittens on either side)
that I traced onto fabric & then embroidered.

You were in Oregon and we didn't have coffee? Big, huge, crocodile tears! :)

The note to Santa is priceless!
