Where Did The Year Go??

Six months later, and I am making a new post about my artistic endeavors.

Pitiful.

Tonight, a week before Christmas, and I watched/listened
to the wonderful Nutcracker Ballet this evening.

I have seen the ballet live in 5 different cities: Lansing, Cleveland, Tulsa, Denver, and Kansas City. Which did I enjoy most? That's impossible to say. But one particular dance that I thoroughly enjoyed was in Lansing, Michigan, and the Mother Goose had a huge hoop skirt from which all the tiny little ballet dancers and teeny ballerinas escaped. Such a cute production. I have enjoyed several productions on TV and DVD, and Tchaikovsky's music is unsurpassed for the holiday festivity dances. The Nutcracker is a fun story - and one that anyone can identify with if he/she has ever experienced a family & friends Christmas party.

What's new on my art endeavors? Well, I have a new baby great-niece,
Baby Charlotte Kate,
and she has a new baby quilt:

But I don't think I ever got to post the baby quilt I made
for my FIRST great-niece:
Baby Addison Nicole,
(wow-am-I-getting-old...)

And a nice photograph, somewhat artistic, I think, of the moon, 2% waxing, and Jupiter, across the rocky Mountains in November:
