I'll Take One of These...

and one of these...

and just go ahead and add one of these too...

and some yummy, French General...

oh and look at the Sweetwater fabric.

And have you seen this group, Twirly Bird?

It is so sweet with Jaybird/Julie's pattern!

Sometimes when I am out Christmas shopping... and I see

something really cute for somebody, I find that a second one of the

same item slips into my shopping cart for me!

Does that ever happen to you?

I might just be weak. But truth be told... I don't go out shopping very often.

Fortunately these fabric groups don't come out until after Christmas!

They all look so fresh and spring-ish.

Unfortunately, the Pam Kitty Morning fabric is out now...

and it's begging to be put into my shopping cart!

Okay, I'll take just one... they're small!

Getting In The Spirit

I've been very very busy this past week...

making Christmas cards for clients.

I have made 60 now, so I'm just about half way through.

I have to listen to holiday music while I am making my cards to help 

me be in the holiday spirit.

(and it helps me sit still while working on such a tedious task)

Well, it's a good excuse anyway, because I love to listen to Christmas music. 

I start off by listening to winter songs (in October)
 and get into more traditional music as it

gets closer to Christmas.

My first purchase of the holiday season is usually a new Christmas CD.

I use to find great ones at Pier 1.
But in recent years my best finds have been at Starbucks.

Last week I found this group and think they sound amazing... and Carol of the Bells 

is one of my most favorite songs, so I thought I would share the group with you.

(just in case you need a little help getting into the spirit).

Do you have a favorite Christmas CD?

Caving In To Temptation

I had a very nice Thanksgiving.

What could be better than to be surrounded by

the people I love!

But I couldn't help pushing on through to Christmas... getting the

decorations out and put up. And then I thought...

 it would be fun to make up a little. 

 Christmas quilt!  I caved into temptation decided to make up this little guy.

So I got out my scraps and made up this Thimble Blossoms pattern.

I had just purchased the stripe fabric to make into Dresden blades, but 

it became necessary to reassign the fabric to this project. 

I didn't quite have enough to do the inside border or the outside border, but

I think I can find some fabric for that easy enough. 

Seriously, this was the funnest little project and quick to make too.

I think it set the whole mood for the holiday for me.

But, the downfall is that I didn't finish my BOM Rehab project! 

How did you do?

Mid Week Mosaic

I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with

all the good things...

fun,

family, 

friends,

food...

you can't have too much of any of it!

(drive safe)
