Wow! Yes, I do know that 99 days equals more than three months but at this time of the year, those three months disappear faster than a turkey at Thanksgiving! (And for me, my calendar has one very big addition...I will be putting my stuff in storage and heading out in my trailer around Christmas.)
So, I ask...how are your holiday plans coming? I decided, at the request of a couple of my children, that I will be making most of my Christmas gifts this year. That's four kids, each with families. Hmmmm...well, that may be a bit ambitious. But, I do have a start.
Since I like to quilt, I thought small blankets/throws may be in order. At this point, I have four in various stages. For instance, I thought this would be the easiest one - A Bandana Quilt...
I actually saw this on someone's blog and thought it would be a great one for guys...and a very quick one to make. My plan is to use fleece for the back so it would be a good snuggle quilt. I might not even have to use batting if the fleece is thick enough. Think that would be a good idea?
These are the leftovers from a quilt top that I have already put together. Pictures coming tomorrow...
Mug rugs and coffee sleeves seem to be really popular, so I plan on making several pairs using leftovers like those above. I was going to get an ironing board cover for the heat resistant fabric, but the only ones I could find were just plain cotton. And after visiting fabric and craft stores, I came up with a big fat zero. Riding to the rescue is Amazon. My order is already winging it's way to my home.
More tomorrow on my holiday plans. I did want to show you a couple more of my pages for LSNED - Learn Something New Each Day. I have actually kept up this year. And my scrapbooking is getting a bit better.
The first picture is about exactly what it says...the benefit of continued learning throughout your life. Not necessarily in a formal setting, just keeping your mind open to new discoveries and how they can shape your life.
This post is about fall. Actually, fall is the answer to a question. Looking over the pages I have already done, I see that fall is prominent in many of them...think I like this time of year?
That's all for today, thanks for checking in here at my blog...
See you tomorrow...
