A Fabulous Gift for me!!

The mailman pulls up to the house and rings the bell~ DH says 'what did you order?' And I could honestly say 'huh?' ~that's my response before I know I'm totally innocent. lol  And I was! Totally innocent, I mean! :-))  My Charming Girls Secret Santa gift arrived! ~~and you know, I was so busy making the gift for my Secret Santa that I totally forgot about the part where I'd receive a gift too! :-o  And look at my wonderful gift!!

It was wrapped so beautifully!  And she made the adorable cardinal card too! How did she know I love cardinals too? :-)  AKK! So sorry blogger tipped my photo! :-/ But it really is cute from any direction. :-))

And inside I found this fantastic log cabin table topper! It fits me to a T! And speaking of T's~ it has my favorite Thimbleberries fabrics in there!! Wow! She also sent this wonderful Holy Family decoration and chocolate! Oh boy!! Does she know me or what?! lol

Thank you so much Sharon! I'll bet your grandchildren love visiting Camp Gramma! (that's Sharon's blog, and if you haven't been, you need to!)

Thanks to all of you for stopping by in the last few weeks too. Things are calming down a bit and I plan to get back to more regular blogging. Sorry I didn't get a chance to answer your comments personally, I really appreciated each of them and plan to try to keep up a bit better in the future!


Have a great night!

Busy ~ Busy

Yep, its that time of the year and it seems like it just gets busier and busier! DS had a harrowing ride home from school for break which involved an accident. He & his friends are fine, his nose was broken but is healing well. We've had ice and more ice! Last night our power went out for a few hours. And ~the joys of home ownership!~ we have had more large limbs come down. :-/ But the good news is~ no damage to the house or cottage. And the kids are all ok. Whew!

Did you notice the little button in my sidebar? Yep! I won an issue of 100 Quilt Blocks from Quiltmaker! Maybe our luck is turning! :-)

Today I mailed out my Secret Santa gift for the Charming Girls Club~ I hope she likes it!! I had a bit of a hard time parting with it. LOL  ;-)

And I finished my Le Petite project for this month~ I'll quilt it next month. It is Sherri K. Falls Butter Churn pattern from This and That Pattern Co. I didn't do my borders like the pattern because I decided to make a table topper from the Park Ave layer cake I had left after making my Plan C quilt. Using up the bits and strips worked really well.

That's it from here! I hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with food and family fun!

'Gobble til you Wobble'! LOL :-)

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
