Decking the Halls
Have a few hours at home this morning and thought I better get started decking my halls. The feathered star above the mantel is actually a table runner my mother made, but I like it up here much better. It's visually gorgeous and no one can spill anything on it! The mantel is a work in progress, but I like what I've got so far.

The quilt on the left is called "Reflections" and is another one of mom's wonderful quilts. The piecing on it is just amazing - the work of the insane. It is hanging in my Dad's room so he can see it from his bed. I'm not sure if he knows what it is or remembers who made it, but I like the idea of him having something beautiful to look at and that it was made by someone he loved - and who loved him - so very much.
The GO BIG RED Nebraska plate was an early gift from Santa - I LOVE IT, and it will be up and around through the Big 12 Championship game this Saturday, and for the bowl game season.
