Merry Christmas Night, year 2011, coming soon 2012

We are celebrating the Christmas of 2011 and thinking in the new year 2012, we expect that this year has been a blessing and prosperity.

Well, like every year we decorate our homes with beautiful Christmas lights for the night as good as for the celebration of the new year 2012, hopefully not the end of the world as many believe.

I personally I have much to celebrate and also so much to buy. Christmas shopping is but I hope that in the year, I like hanging out with my family and buy Christmas decorations, clothing, shoes, food and everything that makes Christmas a Merry Christmas.

This Christmas I have planned to spend it on my parents' house and spend the New Year at home with my wife and family.

I am of the people I like to get ahead of important dates, and I like to buy advance, there are now many websites with good deals on clothes and Christmas products, buy one or two months can be aticipo key to save some money and step we take advantage of holiday deals and discounts.

Merry Christmas 2011
Happy New Year 2012

Decking the Halls

Here is one of the first Christmas things I made after I started quilting.  This is probably from the late 70's or early 80's.  Again, it shows the choice of fabric that you found back then.   This doesn't hang on my fireplace, but I just wanted to get a good picture of it.  I also had a big wreath I made by stuffing long tubes of fabric and twisting them together.  Can any of you remember those?  No idea of what I did with that one. 

This is a vintage wreath that was in my mother-in-law's things.  I'm pretty sure it isn't aluminum but could be wrong on that.  There used to be something we called "tinfoil" but it's been so long ago.  Anyway, no matter what it is, it's rather a pretty little thing.  As you can see, I have been putting out some Christmas in my house and have a pretty good little mess going which needs to be cleaned up.  Just needed to sit down and take a break so thought I would do a post.  This morning I did some shopping on line -  so some things are taken care of.   Time to get back to the job at hand.  Have a good weekend!!

Cute Lollipop Ornaments

Looking around on different blogs, I found these cute fabric covered lollipops and a video showing how to make them.  They are, of course, made in the same way as fabric covered bowls but much, much smaller and more doable.  I posted the video on our quilt guild blog - Pass the Tiara.  If you would like to take a look at it, simply nudge the little yellow chicken on my side bar and you will be there in a jiffy.  Enjoy!

Little Bit of Christmas at My House

Slowly, slowly, a start on getting my house decorated for Christmas.  No longer the whirlwind I used to be in getting things done, it takes me so much longer to do things.  Sometimes I feel like I am doing something wrong but then I'm intelligent enough to know that actually I probably have done some things right and that I am so blessed to be able to do what I do at my age.   So, if I don't get all the decorating, shopping, etc., that goes along with this lovely season, it will still be lovely and a  very, very special Christmas this year.  The pretty poinsietta came home with me Sunday evening when I had dinner with Sherry and Barclay.  What says Christmas louder than a poinsietta?

This little white chamber pot full of Christmasy things sits on top of the piece that holds my tv.  My "arrangements" are always just kind of stuffed in a holder.  I think I have old newspapers crumpled up in the bottom of this one.  It looks okay, though.

And here is the wreath beside the front door.  I took the faded little old snowman off and replaced it with a perky new Santa Claus.  It looks pretty good.  May tackle my mantel and hang some of the wallhangings, etc.  Still don't know if I will bring up the tree that is already decorated or not.  Time will tell.  Again, Ho, Ho, Ho!

A Sweet Picture of Henry

An e-mail with this darling picture of Henry came from Norah yesterday and she said she just had to send it to me.  Henry's great grandfather (who would just love and adore this little boy) took lots of naps in his recliner over the years and this was the position he always  assumed.   I am sure in the albums I have more than one picture of him "resting his eyes" as he used to say.  So maybe that gene has passed on to this little doll!  I'm so looking forward to Christmas to see him again.

Working on a stocking for him for Christmas.  Here's a peek, but I'm hoping it's not too busy.   It might have been better if I chose a different applique.  We'll see.   I do like the strip piecing, though. 

A Good Giggle

I found this on Pinterest and it made me laugh out loud, really!  Potty humor, I know, but so darned cute to see a Christmas elf fishing for "goldfish" in pretty blue water.  I have a couple of little vintage elves but they are dressed in green.  I don't plan to set up a little still life in my bathroom, however.  Such a clean, sparkly bathroom! 

Hope you get a giggle, too!  Giggles are good for us.
