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!
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!
Hi everyone. Today I am doing a guest post over at The Wood Connection. I am showing how to make this fun whimsical Christmas frame. Be sure to visit them to see a full tutorial on how to paint and glitter this cute little project along with a great technique on how to paint and glitter the wooden dots!
If you are visiting from the Wood Connection…Welcome! I am glad that you are here and hope that you will stay a while and take a look around and that you will want to come back again and again!
Here are the printables for this frame. I have done both 11 x 14 (which is the size frame that I did) and 8 x 10 sizes. Continue reading
That is my little public service announcement! :)
Now on to the post for today:
I have all of my Halloween put away and I have been a little slow on getting my fall/Thanksgiving decorations out. I just am having a hard time getting into it. I think that if I put it off, it will not come as fast! It is not Thanksgiving that I really worry about it is Christmas that seems to come waaay too fast! So let’s just be in denial and see where that gets me! :)
I did get one thing done and put out:
I made a linen pillow cover for this one that can be used with other wraps throughout the year. Now I have my black one from Halloween and a linen one. I should be able to use these two pillows with most any wraps!
I love the fall leaves in this fabric with the orange polka dot ruffles. Polka Dots and ruffles just go together, do they not? And the brown ric rac finishes it off so perfectly!
This has been a busy week here at the ranch. Even though we are empty nesters it does not mean that we slow down very much!
My husband and I took a quick little trip to St. George, (Southern Utah) the first few days of the week. We went to two of the Tuacahn Theater Shows, “Aladdin” and “Hairspray”. They were both so good and the weather was pretty good although the first night we were there the wind came up and it got downright cold! We figured if we were going to see these shows that we had better go now, because they are going to end this week! We really enjoy going to the different shows every year! Thriller starts next week and I would love to see that one too, but I doubt that we will make it back down there to see that one! Maybe next year!
I love to decorate my kitchen for the holidays, because that is where we spend so much time!
So I thought that these ruffled dish towels would be just the thing that I needed to make my kitchen a little more festive for Halloween.

Today I would like you to meet my newest friend… Tilly. That is short for Matilda. She is so kind and has agreed to come and stay with us for awhile! She is not much trouble at all and even though she may look a little odd, we have tried to make her feel right at home here.
I just love making new friends…don’t you too? Continue reading
Today I have a fun pillow wrap with a full pattern for you! You might just want to run out a purchase the supplies so that you can make one of these this weekend! They are so easy and so cute.
By making a simple pillow cover and different wraps, you will be able to change the look of ONE pillow for any season of the year.
