I've been battling a cold for about 10 days - went to the doctor last week hoping to avoid a bout of bronchitis and feel better for Christmas week. I'm using less tissues today and hoping I've finally turned the corner. I've just had to keep on going regardless and not let it ruin my Christmas.
I finally spent some birthday gift certificates I had and ordered some wonderful stash from my favorite online shops. Love getting stash in the mail! I hope to start something new next week after Christmas...I'm still in a holiday stitching mood.
A special note to "Nancy in WI" - you don't have an email address in your Profile so I couldn't contact you. The quilt in my photos from the last post is called 'Garden Gate' by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. I would be happy to send you my pattern for it and a better photo if you contact me via email - my email address is in my profile.
A big "thank you" to all of you for visiting my blog this year. I so appreciate your visits and when you take time to leave a comment it really makes my day! I'll leave you with some of the sights of Christmas at my house. I wish all of you a very happy holiday wherever you are!

You may have hated the finishing, but those stockings are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Merry Christmas and wishing you a joyous New Year!
Lovely stockings Jeanne! So glad they got finished!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Mmmm those cookies look so good!
ReplyDeleteLook at all those goodies...edible and stitching or sewn. :-) The stockings are just stunning on your mantle. And your tree is fabulous. I keep saying each January that I will stitch more ornaments and never do. I would love to do a garland full of them. But seeing your tree tempts me to do it this year.
ReplyDeleteI had a bad cold too. It is still not totally gone so it is hanging on for a month. The first week, it activated my eye disease and I was very miserable and in deep pain. Then it keeps me having FM attacks too. I am glad you are over yours and did not get bronchitis.
Any special stitching and quilting goals for you this year?
Hugs from Holland ~
