I slowed for a minute on cookie baking, but would prefer to think of it a strategic retreat to regroup. 🙂 I have to decide on what to bring to the Husband’s Grandma’s house for Christmas. Peppermint bark may make an appearance.
I have been sewing, but it’s been Super Secret Christmas sewing, so can’t be shown until after next week.
In the meantime, here is some of our Christmas decor to make it a little more festive!
Christmas trains! This wouldn’t fit with our village on the mantle. Next year, we’re going to set up a table for it.
Another train! Also, the ornament from the in-laws for Fancy’s first Christmas. They couldn’t find a queen one, so it says “King of the House.” It totally fits. How could we be expected to refuse this face?
Here are our Firefly ornaments. I thought it was appropriate for them to fly. The black one has a “firefly” license plate on it.
We like to think of our decorating style as electic. 🙂
Icicle lights in the kitchen window. We found these at a summer rummage sale and I forgot about them until I was sorting presents. They look so pretty when the lights hit them.
We didn’t get a bigger artificial tree this year because Fancy has started guarding everything in sight. This is up on the table where she can’t get to it and it seems to be good.
I did some organizing yesterday. My sewing area is crazy again. It’s not completely put away yet, but this bin and some other piles are at least sorted and ready to be put away.
Here are the piles of neatly folded and sorted.
The fat quarter piles look so pretty!
I also got a present for myself in the mail today! It’s “Rainbow Quilts For Scrap Lovers” by Judy Gautier. I know, I know… But I’ll use at least four of these quilts!
This one is partially appliqué, but the background is pieced, so I might be able to get it done.
Reverse appliqué on this one. But it looks easy enough.
So pretty! And it could use up a lot of weird scraps.
I saved the best for last….
I love owls! I will definitely be making this one. Sometime… after I get the other thousand projects done…
For now though, I have a dog sleeping on my foot and should probably go to bed too. Have a peaceful night!
