Christmas Time

Well we've been busy trying to stay warm since Thanksgiving. Our heat went out and it took til yesterday to get the money and the part to fix it. So inbetween staying covered up on the couch with my quilts I have been getting the house ready for Christmas and our Yule Party next weekend.

Here are some of the pictures.

Santa Table Topper Done

This only took me 2 years to complete but it is done and off my UFO list. The Santa is a panel and the blocks around him are from a online Squishie Block Swap at QYW in 2007. I have already put him on my livingroom table and it fits perfectly there. Now when I get the Christmas tree up it will also go on this table so I may not need a treeskirt for it we will see.

These blocks are from the 2007 Christmas Block Swap at QYW I will be working on them next to make a top witrh them, then I have pre-printed Christmas Blocks that will go on the other side of these so I have a 2-sided quilt for the livingroom couch. Hope to get it done this week/end.

It's supposed to get colder here in Florida and rain some more, nothing like what you are getting up north, but a 20+ degree drop in temps is alot of here, from 82 today to 62 tomorrow. My wish this Christmas is for it to get cold enough to SNOW in my yard, not just in Florida so I will have a White Christmas Morning for the first time in my life.

Friday I get to go Christmas Shoppping with my DS and MIL. Yes, DS is back home in Fla. So hopefully he will stay out of trouble and get a job and stay here now.
Well time to get off here and go watch TV with Hubby.

Christmas Mini Quilt-Virtual Christmas Quilt Show-

Virtual Christmas Quilt Show
This is my entry into this show that SewCalGal is having, click on the link above to see the other or join in yourself.

Here is my Mini for Christmas. I had alot of fun making it today. I messed up on the binding, but it's not to much of a problem as it's staying here and not being given as a gift. I love Christmas and Decorating the house, but this year I'm very slow in getting it done. I do have my

crafts/sewingroom done and my Angel and Santa are up

This is what I put on top of my pattern file cabnit. I made the House from Plastic Canvas and the other stuff has been gotten over the years for the kids, who are now grown.
These are a couple of Stockings I've had made for me over the years from Online Swaps. I hope to put up my tree this week, all the ornaments are Homemade from swaps or given to me from my Hubby and my kids. Will post a picture when I get it up.

My Favorite Tradtion for Christmas is waking up Christmas Morning and making Cinnamion Rolls and watching the parade on TV. This year me and DD are going to both bake in our own homes and watch the parade at the same time while we are online together, so it's alittle bit different but still the same.
Now, I'm working on make a couple of Christmas quilts with blocks I've had for a couple of years.

Happy Holidays,

New Blog- Haven Swaps

I have a new blog I just started. I will be hosting swaps on it. My first swap is 12 Days of Christmas check it out by clicking on the picture below. Well it's over cast and very windy, it looks like Winter here not Fall. Not sure what I'm going to work on today as yesterday we were supposed to go to our Shire meeting and we didn't make it. We went into town early so Hubby could do his Mom's bushs, trimming and weeding and while we were there my back started hurting and then my kidneys went off it was horrible, at first I was just in pain, then I felt like I had to og to the bathroom all the time, finnally I just told hubby to take me home and I layed down on the couch and went to be early last night was up at 5:54am this morning and I still have to call my doctor but I feel alot better today. So hopefully I can go with Hubby to fight practise Thursday as we were supposed to go out to dinner yesterday and he said we will do it Thursday.
Have a Blessed day!
