Winners! Christmas is Just 5 days Away!

Christmas!

5 days away.

What did I decide to do this past weekend?

Rearrange my sewing room. 

Yep

I am Crazy.

I have decided to sell one of my 5 machines so it has been moved elsewhere. 

Cabinet and chair. 

Amazing how much more room I have now!

I added more shelves and am slowly but surely finding a perfect place for everything where I CAN SEE IT without crawling under my huge work table. YAY!

I'll post pics when I finish.

There's still a pile of patterns and "important papers" covering my work table.

When I have finished sorting I will be back to sewing.

Luckily I have little to do sewing-wise before Friday.

Just need to finish knitting a "quick" shawl.

The winners of my Sew, Mama, Sew giveaway are Christal, Sandy and Mandy!

Thank you to all who stopped by and entered.

Next year I'm going to try to blog with more regularity and to have monthly giveaways!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you and yours have a fabulous and safe Holiday!

XOXOXOX

Christmas is How Many Days Away?!?!?!?!

Lordamercy!

Is anyone else freaking out?

Am I the only one who isn't quite ready?

What do you have left to do?

I have odds and ends to finish up. 

A couple of custom order bibs

There's still time to order one or more for delivery before Christmas.

I have most of the purchased prezzies purchased but not wrapped.

Last Saturday, we hosted our 1st Annual Fire-Pit Party and 

Celebration of Bill's New Job.

It snowed.

A little bit.

I love snow but not when I have a party planned! A few hearty souls braved the cold wet afternoon and evening around out newly dug fire-pit. It was easy to understand why others were smart and stayed home and warm. But we had fun.

In anticipation of the gathering we cleaned house and decorated. Bill groaned when he saw all the Christmas boxes up from the basement. Katharine doubted I could get it done. But I did. hmmph!

Lousy picture of our wonderful authentic 1960's PomPom Aluminum Christmas Tree

BARBIE HEAD!!! I need to devote a whole post to BARBIE HEAD!!!

 

My Santa Collection on Bill's Grandma Daisy's buffet

I love these kissing Clauses from my Dad's old junque store circa 1976

I've had that Santa with the bag since the 60's.  I made the bag way back then and it's filled with wrapped prezzies!

My Great Uncle bequeathed this beautiful organ to me.

It's the perfect place for the ceramic Christmas Tree made by my Aunt Royce back in the 70's

and a pretty good spot to put the portrait of Miss Wilkes County 1960.

 

 Didn't know you were reading the blog of Beauty Pageant Royalty did ya?

I was 1 and my Daddy was the pageant's emcee. 

He thought it would be cute to announce the "winner" by revealing "her" portrait.  I think he was buying time for the judges.

But I digress............

 

 

Giveaway day is coming!!!!

 Be sure to check here on Monday for the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway.

It's a great time to wander around and read different blogs and register to win prizes!  Not quite what I'll give away this time but I'm thinking a Christmas apron or towels and hot pads or baby bibs or all of the above - as in 3 giveaways!!!
