Tis The Season

Well, I'm back. As they say, long time no post. Summer just flew by and now fall is doing the same thing. I wasn't doing any sewing this past summer so absolutely nothing to post about. Actually I was tired of people criticizing my blogging so I stopped for a while. But, now I've decided to heck with those who love to pick on me and I'm back.

Like I said I've been really busy helping out different family members with different projects. They ranged from helping get ready for a huge rummage sale and doing the rummage days in very hot weather. Running back and forth helping others out and just a couple of weeks ago doing a lot of painting and clearing out of clutter for my brother. It felt good to have something to do. Recently my Mom fell and broke her ankle so now I'm helping out there. Inbetween I've made a total of 5 pairs of pillow cases and I just finished up a small turkey wallhanging. I took down the Halloween decorations and have decided to go straight to Christmas.

Last night some of my dear friends came over for a fun night of eating, drinking and then shooting some dice. I can safely say we all had a great time. Bring on the holidays. My friend Maureen brought me what I think is going to be my Christmas Tree for this year so I just need to take it's picture to post it here.

Here are some of the pillowcases that I've made recently. I didn't want to bore you with all of them. I also made a neat pair of Green Bay Packer pillowcases for my sister. The top picture is the cutest flannel that I've ever seen. It's jumping frogs that have hot pink scarves, hats and mittens on, those I made for two very special little girls for their birthdays.

So, now it's time to work on Christmas presents most of which I won't be able to show here because my friends read my blog. Off to do a little stitching and it hopefully won't be so long before my next post.
