Is it December already? By golly it is! How did that happen?

Good evening, y'all and Happy December. It seems like yesterday that we were celebrating Halloween and here we are in the month of December already. My how time flies.
Today has been quite chilly . It has been overcast for most of the day, but the rain moved in this afternoon . I expect the pitter patter of rain will continue throughout the night. Mom said she saw a snowplow head up the valley earlier today. Hmmm might we have snow in the forecast- I don't know.

Yesterday , I pulled out my secondary blocks for my Pretty in Peach Butterfly quilt. Do you know the name of this block? I think it is so lovely.
Anywhooo.... I need 9 more blocks.
With a swish and swoosh , I had the 3 1/2" squares and strips cut for all of the blocks. I was ready to get down to the nitty gritty and do some serious sewing. But alas, I ran out of thread. Oh bother!
So Mr. Pinker and I went to Wally World today, where we picked up a few groceries and of course some thread so I could get back to the task at hand.
At the thrift store, I found this gorgeous snowball quilted table runner for only a $1.98!😲🤗 I could not snatch it up quick enough.
Each end has the most darling wool appliqued snowman scene.
The 16 snowball blocks measure at 3" finished.

I think it was a great thrifty find. What do you think?
Well Sweeties, that's what is going on in the holler.
How was your first day of December?
