The Hustle Bustle Season Begins

It’s been such a crazy last few weeks with Thanksgiving and on top of that, we’ve been busy helping out two sons move into new apartments on the weekends!

But Yogi and I have been really busy sewing, too.

I made four pretty little Christmas wall quilts for my three sisters and my parents.

I took these sneak peek photos then totally forgot to take a finished photo of one to share with you after I sent them to my family in Florida last week… sigh

Then I started decorating the house for Christmas on Black Friday and decided I wanted a new mini-quilt to hang over the mantle.

I had this adorable Mary Engelbreit Santa panel, so I used part of it to make a little wallhanging!

I think it’s perfect for the space!!

I’ve got the whole house decorated, the lights on the live tree in the living room, but still have to put on the ornaments.  If you remember my Demon Tree from last year, you’ll understand why I’m letting the tree sit with only lights for a few days…  if not, read this-

So, what are you working on these days?

P.S. Yogi is just plum tuckered out from all this sewing and decorating!!

  5. Your home and blog look so festive! Yogi does get the best sleep! Rusty is finally sitting in his chair while I sew in our basement sewing room. One day he may nap:)
