Holly Jolly Blog Bingo … Day Sixteen

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo ... Day Sixteen

Good morning/afternoon!  My apologies for my tardiness … I lost my way wandering around blogland viewing all the amazing posts of everyone’s Christmas.  It’s been especially fun seeing all the pictures of the “White Christmas” that the East Coast had.  I realize for many, snow is not a big deal, but for little ole’ me here in Central California, it would take a rather major miracle for snow to fall at any time of the year, let alone on Christmas. 

Everyone has their dream vacation which usually includes a trip to Hawaii, or somewhere in Europe, maybe an exotic island, but not me.  My dream vacation is to be stuck (yes, stuck) with my family in a cabin with big windows in the mountains with the snow falling.  Of course, we NEVER lose electricity, and the fire is constantly burning.  I have stitching to do, books to read, board games to play, puzzles to assemble …. ahhhh, that’s the perfect vacation.  But we can only be stuck for 3 days … 4 days max.

Okay … back to reality.  Let’s see if today will bring us a bingo winner!

 

friday’S WINNERS …

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo … Day Fifteen

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo ... Day 15

NEWSFLASH:  I’m the Queen of Procrastination.  I am … really.  I never used to be, though.  I used to be the queen of schedules, lists, perfection, planning, everything done with days of time to spare … silver polished, linens washed and ironed, table set, etc..  What happened?  Where did that person go?  I’d really like for her to come back right now.  Maybe she’ll be wrapped nicely under my tree and return to me next year.

But as life would have it, my list today would probably rival Santa’s.

Grocery shopping …
Christmas shopping …
House decorating …
House cleaning …
Wrap presents …
Go to daughter’s for Christmas Eve dinner & a movie …
Back home to wrap more presents …
Go to bed for an hour …
Yada, yada, yada …

Does your list look like this too?  I sure hope not!  I’ve officially lost my mind !!!!

But first, without a doubt the highest priority of the day, is my visit with my Holly Jolly Blog BIngo friends! 

Okay … I can feel it in my bones … someone is really, really, close.  They have to be, you see, because I’m running out of words!  Either that, or you’ve all picked words from someone else’s list.

Are you ready?  Here goes!

THURSDAY’S WINNER …

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo … Day Fourteen

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo ... Day 14

Good morning!  It’s so nice to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the holiday countdown.  How about you?  Are you ready?  We’d love to hear about a special family tradition you have.  Add it to today’s post!

Yesterday I took a few minutes to gather my fabric and get it cut for Merry Mayhem’s New Year’s Day mystery over at Planet Patchwork.  Will you be joining the fun?  I hope to see you there!  I’m using an assortment of Moda fabrics from Penelope, Fresh Cotton, and Vine Creek, and Flirt by Robin Pandolph.  The finished project is a 35” table topper or wall hanging, so it shouldn’t take to long to finish.

Okay, let’s see if we can get a bit closer to a Bingo winner!  Ready?


WEDNESDAY’S WINNER …

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo … Day 13

Holly Jolly Blog Bingo ... Day 13

Have you ever had one of those mornings when you are so tired that your whole head feels like it’s stuffed with cotton balls? 
That’s me … right now.
After working all day, I stayed up way, way, way too late binding a quilt.  Our dear Amanda asked me on Thanksgiving day if I could “put together a quick quilt” for a dear friend of hers and her husbands.  How could I say no?  So, Thanksgiving night I began piecing, finished the next day, mailed it off to my sister-in-law to quilt it and got it back on Sunday.  She needs to have it for Thursday night, so last night I figured I better get busy binding it.  I wanted to get that done so that if today I get the “oh, by the way … mom, can you make a label too?” … I can do that tonight.

So, today my eyes are crossed and my brain is fuzzy. 

I must admit, though, that the quilt did come out beautiful.  very simple, but stunning.  The fabrics are from Holly Holderman’s (Lakehouse) Tea Time II.

 

Well, I’m ready to play Bingo!  How about you?

Tuesday’s Winner …
