BOMs Away - A Christmas Visit and a little Neptune's Gift

               

Welcome to the Link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!

Where we share what we're doing on a BOM type project
so they don't stall out in UFO-land!

Hello  :)   I sure hope you had a nice Christmas. We made a quick trip out to Florida so we could visit with our two daughters and son-in-laws out there and see our grandbaby again. It was splendid! I just wish I'd been better focused on getting pictures of all of us. Still, here are a few gems:

Such a huge smile from him right off the bat!

I did actually let GrandPop have turns with him, too.  :)

Old Man Lupin loved him, even during crying bouts, and looked for Baby Oliver after they left. So funny! (the perspective of this photo makes Oliver look much smaller than he really is)

Oliver was absolutely mesmerized with this shirt!

A family walk around neighborhood walks - the lights enchanted him.

And a moment with Aunt Heather  :)

We even managed to get a wee bit of work done on the house the day after Christmas - gutters cleaned out, some old caulking torn out and replaced, a bit of trim painting, and some prep work to paint the second bathroom. Not super productive on this end of things, but Baby time and holiday closures cut into that capability.

We got back very late last night, but before we left, I managed to do the Month 9 work for Neptune's Gift, which was to insert the central compass in the background square (this is about 5 feet square):

No delivery of the Month 11 kit was awaiting our return, so as I start working on Month 10, I'm caught up with this BOM!  That makes me very happy.

Did you work on a BOM type project this week? We'd love to see your progress!

Kate over at Katie Mae Quilts has joined me in hosting this meet-up, and linking up from either end puts you on the party at both sides
