A Head Start!

I was packing up my Christmas fabric (because it was scattered all over my sewing room!) when I ran across a piece I'd forgotten I had.  Ever do that?  Like every other day or so?  I just couldn't put it up yet so I quickly put together a few simple placemats and napkins.

I had an ulterior motive though.  My grandson got engaged over the Christmas holiday.  I can see the wedding showers coming.....lingerie, kitchen, Christmas!  I've gotten a head start - the Christmas shower present is done.  :)

I couldn't cut into these cute reindeer so I just used a 12 x 18 piece, machine quilted it and put on binding.  Now, wonder what I can make for a lingerie shower.......

In Your Words - It's Coming!

Starts Monday!

Let's Go Visiting!

Okay ya'll let's start the new year off right by sharing some good times with each other!

Each Wednesday for the next several weeks I'm going to post a list of "Blog Neighbors To Visit This Week."  Those of you who signed up on this post have been placed on my list, in order of your comments.  Or I hope it's in order of your comments.  :)  (If you haven't signed up but want to then comment on that post and I'll add you to the list - you are welcome here.)  I'll try to warn you ahead of time that we're coming so you can write a new post, or not.

Let's all make some new friends doing this, look around at some old posts or tutorials or other tabs/buttons (pretend you're snooping in their closets or something!) comment somewhere on the blogs we visit, and get to know each other.  With all the sadness we've experienced during the last several months it's time to spread love and good cheer.  I will list ten names each week but don't feel like you have to visit them all in one day - take your time, savor the time you spend and enjoy your visit.  Here's who's up for our first visits this week:

Let There Be Light!

We got electricity about 7:00 tonight - just shy of a full four days!  I'm so thankful to the men and women who worked untold hours in the cold and sleet and rain to restore power for us.  

I need to take a little blog break for a few days to get things back in order at my house but when I return after the New Year I'll be posting all the "Neighbors" we're going to be visiting.  I was thrilled at everyone who wants to participate and get to know each other.  It will be like an old fashioned block party.  :)  See you in a few days!

Blog Buttons

I'm revamping my blog a bit for the new year.  Just cleaning out the old and bringing in the new - new blog hop buttons, new BOMs I'm going to participate in, etc.  If you're a follower of mine and would like for me to add your blog button to my sidebar just add a comment here and I'd love to do that - after all, you're one of my neighbors.  :)  If you don't understand that statement see this post.

And if you want to add my button - then please do.  It's on the right sidebar too!
