She was not altogether ready and wanted to sit and stitch, but tomorrow is the Christmas party, a quilt evening not to be missed...
As you see, my progress on the Santa banner is poor indeed.
I took it along this past weekend but we were busy helping our neighbors as some of their trees were taken out. We now have alot of work ahead of us to get this wood they gave us into firewood.
But finally, my tree is up and ready...
I have almost all the gifts wrapped for tomorrow night...
The newsletter is finished and just needs printing...
The pickle is in the tree waiting to be found by one of the ladies...
...who will win this extra gift...
My Christmas cards are waiting to be passed out...
And I even had time today to mail a package to Joni as a belated birthday gift and sew the last set of coasters for Barbara...
She asked for red, green and white. Barbara is a big snowman fan so what else could I made but snowmen!
I will be up late tonight doing more things for tomorrow. There is little sleep for elves at this time of year!
Heidi, I love the coasters, they are beautiful. You could have waited til after Christmas to make them, but I'm glad you went ahead and made them. Thank You.

Well, it looks like you made a lot of progress. The coasters are really cute. Good for Barbara. The cards look to have very cute little ornaments attached. I can't wait to hear who finds the pickle. Tell the ladies good luck from me. Have lots of fun at the party.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Mom
Heidi, I had to catch my breath after reading this post! I can just picture the busy days you've had getting ready for your party. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Miss Heidi!!! Be safe, be healthy, be happy and enjoy.

Heidi, you never stop! How busy you are, and how lovely the things are that you make. I have finally finished my Christmas patchwork, and there is a photo on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Heidi, you certainly are a busy bee ... sorry elf! in making all these lovely things. We enjoy your coasters so much! Thank you very much for your lovely Christmas card. I hope to write ours this weekend, which is rather late, ahum! Too busy here. But today we decorated our Christmas tree as well. Fleur (she's an angel) put the lights in again! Big relief to me.
ReplyDeleteTake care & hugs, Carolien
Looks like you are almost all ready for the holidays. The tree is lovely as are your other works! Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteIt is a busy time of year, but you are really in the groove. I hope your party was great fun.
