I won, I won!

You know that I love a good mail day, right?  Well, it's fun when you order something and it arrives, but it's even more fun when you WIN something!  I really don't sign up for too many giveaways because I have too much stuff already, but Patti enticed me with her trip to Spring Green, WI - so I left a comment on her blog and she picked me as the lucky winner!  Here is a link to her blog - grab a cup of coffee and go take a look!


Zoom in and take a look at all of this good stuff!  Floss, fabric, beautiful trims, cards, tea and even a spoon from WI!  So much fun.  Look at the cute packaging - I could hear the jingle bells jingling as I picked up the package.  Now they are hanging on my Christmas tree.

Thanks again Patti!  

Now I've got to hop in the shower - Grubby has to go visit the vet today. I would much rather be staying home, it's only FIFTEEN degrees out there this morning.  I bet Grubs would rather stay home too - he has to get a shot!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


I took this picture yesterday as I was hanging my glass snowflakes.  We made these at my mom's shop a few years ago.  They are easy and fun to make and I love seeing them in the winter!  I usually leave them up until March.  This one isn't as bright as it looks here.

And this is what it looks like this morning!  I was excited when I woke up to snow.  Funny how I've changed my tune, since I now work from home.  I hated the snow when I had to drive in it every day.  Now I just love it - so beautiful and peaceful.  Perfect day for sewing!  I was just getting ready to take this picture, and the cardinal flew in - perfect timing!

This is the tree in my sewing room.  So many ornaments that I love.  They always bring back so many memories.

And a few Christmas trees of a different variety!  These trees are 1 1/2" paper pieced pendants - you can see them on my website.  The smaller ones are 1 1/4".

 If you signed up for my "Surprise" program, then you received one of these.  Our cute ruler boxes with a pin cushion and some Clover binding clips.  I love these and hope to make more to take to shows next year.

And some pictures of it all while I was getting them ready to mail - it's a process, for sure.



 Part of them all ready to go!

And currently on my design wall.  The top is block 3 of Primitive Garden - I'm doing this as a sew along and have a Facebook page, if you would like to join us.  The one on the lower left will be a new pattern one of these days and the lower right is a Primitive Gathering pattern that I finally finished.  Guess I should take a picture of the whole thing!

This is a busy time of year for me - lots of people have been doing their Christmas shopping on my website! (Thanks to all of you!!).  Here are just a few that we finished up yesterday - all 1 1/2" pendants.

And now it's time to get busy!  Hope you have a great day!
