What would you say if you had to pick just 5 posts from this year as your best or favorites? That is the task in order to link up a Best OF 2015 post for a challenge linky at Meadow Mist Designs. This isn't going to be easy, as I blog about such a wide …
Christmas Breakfast and Tablescape
Christmas breakfast is a time for hearty but easy. Something that can practically make itself while coffee and presents get the first attention of the day. The baked egg casserole fits this bill nicely, you know the one that you make the night before and put into the oven cold. I add some Cranberry Scones …
Rose Angel Ornament
Christmas cookie cutters make wonderful bases for ornaments. I made a lot of ornaments with buttons last year. This year, I was at a local crafting store, and they had their big packs of ribbon roses on clearance for 50 cents. Naturally, I bought about a dozen packs. I thought about the Button Ornaments that …
Christmas Trip Around the World
Before the holiday season gets away, I wanted to show the completed quilt I did before MIL's visit. Remember, I wanted to get one done in 10 days? Yes, I did make it! She liked the festive look it gave the room. To see the construction of the quilt, click on Christmas Trip Around the …
Stamping Christmas Cards 2015

Christmas Dinner Tablescape
We are having our Christmas dinner with family and friends a little early this year, while my Mother in Law is visiting. My Christmas Tablescape last year was a bit more casual with my quilted table cover, but this year I wanted things to be a bit more elegant. We are planning to have a …
Holiday Pine Cone Hanger
Don't you love pine cones? I am lucky to have a lot of pine trees on our property, but the best ones come from my friend who gets the big ones from her sister's place. She recently brought a whole bag of them, with a catch. I could have them if I made her a …
Slow Stitching Sunday #11
Slow Stitching was a success as I finished the little sewing ornaments this week. Participating with this group has really helped me to stay motivated to make progress each week. Sometimes it wasn't much, but every week had some progress. They looked a bit unfinished when I got them all stuffed and closed this week. …
Christmas Trip Around the World
My mother in law is coming for Christmas, and I have less than a week now to finish a quilt for the guest bed from scratch. I know, you will all think I am crazy (and maybe rightfully so, LOL), but I decided to do a Trip Around the World quilt for the guest bed …
