A BIG Finish!

Good Morning!!!!  I'm sitting here thinking I should be doing something...anything...but decided to write a post...that's something isn't it?  😆

I spent a little time in the sewing area the other day.  We are getting to the end of our Birthday Block Club year (thank goodness!!!!).  My friends daughter is involved and I had made her a cowgirl boot for one of her blocks (they are horse people).  She has a sweet daughter who was in the last kindergarten class I worked in......so I made her a smaller version of her Mom's block and made it into a little pillow.  I hope she will be surprised!  

This little monkey had a two night sleepover last weekend....it was just us girls!  She's a goof (but I LOVE her!)  I think she is coming for a visit today as she told her Mom she missed her Papa....Papa was away working when she came and stayed with me.

While Hubby was up north I had a vision for a shelf at our entry way and asked my dad if he would whip one up....well, he did and Hubby brought it home with him.  I LOVE it and can't wait to decorate it when I decorate for Christmas!!!

Folks...it's done!!!  The Santa, The Tree, The Turkey & Me by Hatched and Patched!!!!!  A TON of work but I truly did enjoy every step along the way!  I will hand quilt it, like Ani Downs has done to hers, and hope to get it sandwiched this week.  I showed Hubby and he said "that looks like alot of work!"....every time I would be stitching on a block he would ask if it was done yet!  I know just where it will hang in the livingroom.

Can you believe we are coming up to only a month until Christmas???  I am bringing out the color this year for decor......I will use my Jim Shore things which have been in hiding since we moved here.  It feels like a year of over-the-top rather than minimal like I did last Christmas.  We will see........I have to get to my decorations first!!!!  (my garage is a MESS!)  I even bought Christmas cards yesterday....but I have a bit of shopping left to do (and a quilt to quilt for Son2!)  Time for a to-do list!!  

I'd best get a start on my day....enjoy yours!!!!!!!
