Twas the Night before Christmas!

And all through the house.....
Decorations appear with delight!
The sideboard has pictures of our family and.....


Our table is set!
The mantel is sparkling 
.....and the Christmas tree is decorated with family charms
Baked Gumdrop bread and is ready to serve....

......looks like somebody couldn't wait!

When I was 5 we received a Christmas card with a poem inclosed, my mother read it to me, then taught me to recite it. My nick name was PENNY and thought it appropriate .....so hear it goes....
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man's hat, if you haven't got a penny, a half penny will do, if you haven't got a half penny...then ......"God Bless You".
.....and it all started with a
Family. 
Merry Christmas
Hug's,  Carolyn

    I love your decorations! It's too bad when people don't decorate any more. Even a few things is good. The little poem is too sweet!

    I hope your holidays were wonderful. I had my grand-daughter and family here though they were gone a lot off doing things. Me, I am a home body.

    I already told you how much I like your water color Nativity but it is worth another praise. It is wonderful!

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!      Made this quilt a few years ago. One of my favorites!  "Bad and Happy Jack's" a Fon's and Porter design. Some are happy and some are bad🤐 Love the candy corn fabric. He is a happy camper!! He is not happy..where is my candy corn! Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!! Another must is Mr. Scarecrow. I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday. A wagon full of pumpkins.   Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"! Always fun to display the c.c. stitch pillow hanger. A "Lizzie High" design.   Made some Salsa a few weeks ago ..still displayed on the counter. 😊 Below are the Hummingbirds trying to fatten up before going South on there long journey.   Have a great month!  Stay safe.

Thinking about all of you during these trying time and hope all is good with you and your family. Found this statement with a special message for all of us giving up "Hope". Thought I would share with you as to what I have been doing while being home with Gene and keeping busy! Made this shoulder bag to hold my cell, necessary information, and my mask fits around the strap,---  "handy"! Made a new small patchwork bed quilt for "Miss Hitty"!    We have 6 grandchildren. Three boys and three girls. Three grandaughters have graduated from ISU . One grandson is sophomore at ISU and other grandson is attending UNI . I have made graduation quilts for all six. Our youngest grandson, Joe graduated from high school this spring and is now attending ISU in Ames, Iowa.  Had fun finding plaids and ISU prints for incorporating into the design of this quilt...a few of these plaid came from grandpas shirts....this is "our" secret,  okay!!  Joe (3) licking the bea

New Year, New Ideas, Projects To Work On and Packing up Christmas 2016!

planning my next projects... Digging into my lace box, so much fun! I layered some lace trims together getting ready to make a zipper pouch. This pouch inspired me and was pictured on Rag Bag Gals Group (on Face Book).    Then, I saw these two bunnies...more fun ideas! Started this table topper before Christmas ---as you see, didn't get it finished. I plan to finish up and it will be ready to use next year!  Christmas treasures of 53 years ready to be packed up. Here we are--- Mrs and Mr Clause. Santa is saying "Bye, Bye  and Happy New Year Dear Friends." Sharing with each other our sewing,quilting projects and fun craft ideas is always so inspirational! Thank you. Hug's, Carolyn
