A Fire Tonight??

Trying to turn my unmotivated "Ho Hum" mood into some "Ho Ho Ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS!" mood.. going to turn on the electric fire place tonight (w/o the heat), put in my favorite Christmas Movie, a wonderful smelling gingerbread cinnamon tart, and FORCE myself to stitch and stuff some Christmas dolls tonight. Have a new pattern in the works also, plus I have dolls to make for my friend Sandy Patton that I am WAY behind on! Sooo Hopefully tonight the little workshop will be all a buzz here finally! heee!! !

Ok, how unmotivated and bored am I when I just take pics of the outdoors b/c it finally rained?? And you can't even see the rain falling in the pic??? UGH, I am having such a hard time making myself get to work this year!

At least in this pic you can see the rain on the ground.. REAL exciting, huh??? Actually it is great news that it rained b/cause we had been in a horrible drought for a while also like so many other places. Appreciate the Rain, Lord!!

My precious Kitty, Miley.

It is very wet and rainy. I have been sitting in the living room on the couch with my furry doggies and just listening to the rain fall and starring at my Christmas decorations. It is peaceful. Have the TV on mute and waiting for the College FootBall game to start. What a nice quiet, peaceful and beautiful December evening. Can't remember the last time I sat alone and just listened to the rain fall and not feel stressed or anything, just peaceful. Just a beautiful and unusual feeling December night.

Thank You Jesus!

My dear son in law, Michael.. (Celena's husband)...., arrived back in the states today to his home base in Port Hueneme California, he has been in Afganistn for the past 8 months. Michael will be here at my house in less than a week so he and Celena wil be spending ThanksGiving with me. We are very excited and so glad he is back in the homeland. It will be so hard for me when they leave to go back to California , I will miss them and especially my baby girl soo much. But glad for her that her hubby is home and she is happy!

Several people asked about printing the feedsack. This is an image from ewenmeprintables. I included the directions for printing onto fabric in the pattern. You can order pre cut freezer paper sheets to do this or just use wax paper from the local store. Iron the shiny side of freezer paper to dyed fabric, trace off a regualr size sheet of printer paper on back of freeser sheet, cut out to size of your piece of printer paper that you just traced (8.5x11), run through printer making sure it is free of strings hanging and flattened. Some printers are fussy about taking it, use one at a time, make sure you do this fabric side up or how ever your printer takes it so it will be ready to print on fabric side. All you are doing is giving the fabric enough body to go through your printer.

Visiting Sandy Yesterday

Got to stop and see Sandy for most of the day yesterday, came on home late in the afternoon. We got to go to a new Thrift Shop and do a few things while I was there, had a great time. saw her new pattern doll models and they are wonderful!!! Her pics just do not do her items justice, they look amazing! I saw the new Annie with the frog, her new pattern, and it is great! Here is my grandson enjoying my box of stuffing, he loves the way it feels. Dustin sat in it the whole time he watched his favorite Disney show.
