I think my holiday ducks are all finally in a row at this point! Whew!! :-)
Gifts are wrapped and ready.
Fridge is full with the makings for our Christmas meals.
My husband is Italian, so our traditional meal for Christmas is meatballs and stuffed shells.
We’ve got waaay too many sweet breads and desserts sitting around… sigh…
Yogi has been groomed!! YAY!
We will attend 8:00pm Mass tonight so we can sleep in tomorrow morning!!
I never showed you some of the things I made last month and this month. This was a gift to my parents.
I thought the apple print could be used for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This table runner was for one of my dear sisters!
It was a bargello kit from Connecting Threads.
Here is the new tree skirt I made…
from some cute modern fabrics!
I also made a new table runner from the same cute fabrics!!
I love the addition of light and bright pink and lime green!!
I especially love the bright pink fabric with the white reindeer, don’t you?? The pattern is the disappearing nine patch!!
And this is the new wall quilt I made for over the mantle.
I strip pieced the trees from my scrap drawer. I named the quilt- “The Tree Lot”!!
Now, I’m already thinking about what to make to put up there…
when I put all the Christmas decor away next week…
some winter scene…
any ideas????
I pray you and yours will have a most wonderful Christmas…
full of squeezin’ hugs and warm kisses and a ton of special surprises!!
Your house is absolutely beautiful! You've made some lovely gifts, I love the trees, and the Santa table runner. DO you remember where the pattern came from? Merry Christmas!
