Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone.
More later.
Bye for now.

Happy Christmas

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas.

Getting Ready For Christmas

I can't believe there is less than 2 weeks left before Christmas! I still have some baking to do.
Thank goodness for M&M's. LOL Their Macaroon Madness is wonderful.
The tree is decorated and the livingroom & diningroom are ready. DD and I decorated the Gingerbread House yesterday. I think DD ate more of the candy than ended up on the house! LOL
A while ago, JoAnn at http://piecefulquillting.blogspot.com/ posted photos of some of her Santa collection, and I thought I might follow her lead and post photos of a few of mine.

Here's a few more.

Decorating the tree brings back so many memories. I'm lucky to have a few ornaments from our tree when I was little. (A long time ago!) LOL They are a little the worse for wear but they are special to me and go on our tree every year.



The bird has lost his tail, and the little church has discolored with age, but they still fit right in with the newer ornaments.
DD, who got married 2 years ago, has scooped some of the ornaments for their tree, but these ones are staying put!

Bye for now.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just a quick note to wish all my American Blogger friends a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful day with your family and friends.

On the quilting front, I've finished the applique on another Woodland Christmas block. This one will be called "Have You Been Naughty or Nice?", and will be the 6th in the series. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the border yet. Probably something pieced.

Chat with you later.

I Got Side-Tracked

I know I said I was going to clean up my messy sewing room, but, what can I say, I got side-tracked. I took one look at the mess, and decided I couldn't deal with it right now, so I just shut the door! LOL Take a look at the photos and you'll know what I mean.!


This is what I did instead.

I had these Mill Hill kits that I had bought a number of years ago, and decided to get them made up for Christmas presents this year. I still need to get a frame made for one of them, but that's 2 gifts off my list!

I'm going to try and tackle the room today. The sun is shining so I'm hoping it will help to keep me motivated. We'll see! LOL

Chat with you later. Bye for now.

Do you ever get those days when everything is an effort! That's what last week was like for me.
I can't blame the weather, because it was gorgeous, just like Spring, but I just couldn't get going. lol
I couldn't decide on a border for the Woodland Christmas design I'd been working on, so I put it aside and started another Woodland Christmas pattern. Then I couldn't decide on the fabrics, and now my sewing room looks like it blew up! I've got piles of fabric and bins everywhere!

Today's job is to try and get it tidied up so I can find things.


I don't have much to show you, but for now, here is a photo of "A Woodland Christmas - Reindeer Games" minus the borders.


Let's hope this week is a bit more productive! Chat with you later.
