Guest Post
Hey everyone, I have a guest post today over at the Wood Connection.
It is this fun Monogram board and key holder!
Be sure to stop over there and take a look at how to make one for yourself!
Have a great Monday Everyone! Love Ya!
Quilt As You Go Table Runner
I have been wanting a table runner for my table, but I wanted a square one, not a rectangle one. I had several different pieces of fabric that were red and white, so naturally I decided that I needed to make my table runner. I made it with all my scraps and this whole thing did not cost me any extra money, because I had everything that I needed! Score!
I love how it looks on my kitchen table!
Valentines Pillow Wrap
I have another pillow wrap for you today.
I love these wraps because they are such an easy way to decorate and a pillow can add so much to a room. This is my Valentines version. I love the colors with the touch of green added in the ruffle. It goes perfect with my black pillow, so I did not need to make a new pillow, just the wrap!

Ruffled Christmas Dishtowel and Knitted Dishcloths
It seems like I have had a lot of sewing projects lately and I promise that there are only a couple of more to come!
I just get the sewing bug when it comes to Christmas! I like to make some of my Christmas gifts and of course I love sewing some fun quilts and pillows!
Today I have my Christmas version of the ruffled dishtowels!
Christmas…Sew Cute!
Today I decided that I would show you some of my Christmas sewing projects from this year and from Christmases past. I absolutely love the warmth of these homemade quilts and pillows. They are so inviting on a cold winter’s night. This collection is from things that I have made and some that are gifts that were made by wonderful friends! It is good to have crafty friends!
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend! My husband and I had a great one! We went out to dinner and I had Steak and Shrimp for my Thanksgiving dinner! It was delish. He had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but I have a hard time passing up shrimp when the opportunity is there! :)
That is one thing about being empty nesters, we have to share all of our kids and their families, so every other year we have them and then on the off year we usually go somewhere. This year we just went to Park City and then on up to our cabin. It sounds kind of lonely, not having family for Thanksgiving, but all of our kids live close by and we get to see them every Sunday, so it is OK to share them for the Holidays! :)
I got all my decorating done early this year, because I knew that everyone would be gone and I would not have help, so I took advantage of the grandkids when they were here.
This is my front porch: It looks really fun at night, because it is all lighted up!
Merry Days and Silent Nights
I had the opportunity to attend a Blogging event at Poppy seed Projects yesterday and it was so much fun. Thank you Tauni, at Snap for arranging this fun event! We got to go to their store and shop and they had a fun project for the little kids where they made a turkey with their hand print on a cute little wooden plaque .
I bought this darling vinyl and I knew exactly where I was going to put it when I got home!
I love this saying because it reminds me that we can have fun with Christmas and be Merry, yet we also need to have those silent, quiet, reflective times to remember why we are even celebrating this holiday. Perfect!
Light-up Christmas Lantern
I got a few lanterns at Ikea a while back for the holidays. I made up a couple of them and I love the way they look and the ambiance that they create with the lights in them. They just glow so pretty with the stars cut out of the top of the lanterns! I am really a sucker for lights in my house. I have them everywhere, even when it is not Christmas!
