Block 1 Deck-Ade-Halls

It has been such a nice cool end of July--almost too good to be true for this time of the year; however, it was wonderful piecing weather.  The first block of the Deck-Ade-Halls went together fairly easily.  I did make one mistake and put the white in the button part of the stomach and had to take that out after I had that sewn onto the head and arms.  That was not fun but not too difficult to fix.  The most time consuming part of the whole thing was cutting out all the pieces and putting labels on everything.  It would have been almost impossible to keep all the pieces straight without clear labels.  Anyway, my gingerbread men turned out darn cute.  I really wanted to start on the next block of stars, but I had to stop.  We had picked up a few more 1/2 price Roma tomatoes and some bell peppers, and they needed to be planted before it started raining again.
