Well, I usually get all Christmassy around September/October, but then I also usually end up with some ideas for "next year". So maybe if I start now.....
The hobby shop closest to me seemed to underline this idea - lots of pretty Christmas fabrics all cut and ready. So I couldn't help myself.
I really love the second from bottom green - it has small Christmas puds on it (my favourite food). But what to make? The ideas leftover from last year have vanished completely from my head! Time to start on my Christmas collection then....
I really love the second from bottom green - it has small Christmas puds on it (my favourite food). But what to make? The ideas leftover from last year have vanished completely from my head! Time to start on my Christmas collection then....I have collected Christmas magazines for years - you know, the special edition ones with all the fabulous ideas for making your home the prettiest.
Here is a glimpse of a small portion of the collection. I think I saw one from 1986 among these...
I just love browsing through them - and the collection is getting so big now that maybe it is a good idea to start in August.
Oh, my pc woke up again! I thought I'd give it a go before taking it to the docs - and it worked perfectly. Second son, who knows about these machines, thought it might have overheated!

Hi Anne-Lise--Merry Christmas---I love your sash of red and greens--I do like all the new colors for chmas--yet, I always use the same colors--to me chmas is red and green--regular red and greens too--in fact I had to go looking on the Internet last night for some true reds and greens, plus I will need more true red and whites for the yo-yo's I am doing--and I have to be soo careful--I think I have a red/white combo only to get it home and discover it is off-white and red!!!! Thanks for doing the challenge and I have to add one more name in a minute to the list--so I know there is at least 2 of you doing it. And I am going thru all my chmas magazines and patterns so I can decide which ones to work on too. I also figure that even if I get too many cut and prep--that is ok--cause then just maybe they will all get done by Dec.25th or sooner--Have a great week end--hugs, just, Di
