Almost There

I can hardly believe that there are only 2 more days til Christmas.  It seems like December has been a blur, but I have enjoyed every minute of it.  And there is still more to do.  My friend has had a foreign exchange student living with their family for the last 3 years.  This year the young man has started college and is coming back to visit for the holidays and bringing his mother.  She does not speak much English.  I offered to help my friend entertain her guests as the mother would like to experience a traditional American Christmas.  This cracked me up as my friend and her husband are spending Christmas at their son's college dorm.  He is an RA and has to stay at the dorm through the holidays.  After she takes her Christmas dinner to the dorm, they are going to the movies.

I finished my last little snowman block.  See my previous post for the link to this pattern if you would like to make some too.



I also got the binding on this 12" Merry block from the 100 blocks magazines.




When I put this little hanger on the wall, I failed to remember that we move all the furniture so there is room for the Christmas tree.  That means my little quilt will be viewed through the lamp shade!  LOL.  Live and learn.

Snug as a Mug on a Rug

I was looking through Facebook on Sunday and saw these cute little mug rugs.  I followed the link to a tutorial here.  They were so quick and easy to do.  I made 8 of them on Monday and Tuesday and took them to my stitching group last night to gift to my friends.  Several people were no shows so I have a few leftovers.  Aren't they cute?  and so easy to make.  I like that a lot.


Oops!  One blind snowman!


I found this cute snowman fabric in my stash.  Perfect!

Hope you are enjoying the build up to Christmas and not feeling stressed.  I still have shopping to do.   And now that I think of it, I haven't started my Christmas cards yet either.  Off I go.
