Merry Christmas one and all

We are having a 2 day Christmas celebration this year....today and tomorrow. hubby suggested i cook today so he could eat for 2 days instead of just one. it's all about the food here. LOL  Our usual Christmas dinner includes a Honey-Baked Ham and this year is no exception. i got it back about Monday when i was at the Duck and to make sure we didn't eat it up BEFORE Christmas (not that we have ever done that....hahahahahahaha)....i stuck it in the freezer.

When i was in the ham store i purchased some sides also. sweet potato souffle and cornbread dressing. you just pop them in the oven for 30 minutes and viola'....Christmas dinner. so i will be cooking this morning and we will be eating for 2 days. if it wasn't for all the salt i could eat a honey baked ham every week. they are soooo good....and so expensive.....which is mainly why we only get them at Christmas. the ham people send us a coupon for $5 off each year. this year when i went i was second in line. a couple of years ago....the line snaked out the door and onto the sidewalk. the store is a tiny little store in a tiny little shopping strip so parking is at a premium. there are so many free samples and other goodies like jams and jellies and candies that it is a real test of willpower to only get out with your ham.

We have little presents under a little tree on a coffee table. and i have successfully left them alone all week. and haven't even whined or pouted about opening them. but, now i am thinking....since we are having Christmas DINNER today....then it is unofficially Christmas here now....and we should open presents now. at least some of them. we'll see how that idea works on the hubs.

The weather is decent....no snow, thank goodness....temps in the 40s and 50s predicted for the next few days. i'm lovin' that. i shut down the studio for a couple days and plan to not go out there till monday. but if i get really bored i might have to wander across the road. LOL  but i have lots of handwork to keep me occupied and a star selvage quilt top that i am working on......the last large block.....so need to get that together. i am thinking i might break out a jigsaw puzzle this afternoon. and there might be a nap or 2 involved....all that ham, you know. hahahah

So, whatever your traditions or inclinations....have a wonderful weekend....be safe and warm.

Merry Christmas one and all!

Christmas at our house

We really don't celebrate Christmas. it's not that we're against it....but if we want something...we just go buy it. so we don't need 'presents'. there are no little kids in the house....and they are the ones who 'make' Christmas. we have no decorations or outside lights or blow up Santas in the yard.

We only have this....

A little 2 foot white tree that i had in the studio. i looked at it the other day and figured i should take it to the house and put it on the coffee table. made a tree skirt from a piece of red fabric.  there are some embroidered ornaments on there, too, but you can't see them well. notice there are presents. LOL

Since we had a tree i asked hubby if he wanted to get presents to put under the tree...just for kicks. so the rules were that we each spend about $20 on the other person and get little silly things and wrap them up. we will wait till Christmas morning to open. hubby says we will have hot chocolate with peppermint marshmallows while opening. LOL

His pile to me is on the right....he used pretty wrapping paper....and there are lots of presents.  

My pile to him is on the left....wrapped with brown paper and tissue paper. LOL  and his pile to me is bigger than my pile to him....so i have to go get a few more things. after all...we want to be fair. hahahaha

Think we need to get presents for the dog, too?

Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Trying to keep up

Alhough my husband and i don't really 'celebrate' Christmas....no tree, decorating or craziness going on here.....it seems that december is whizzing by. i have a contest quilt on my frame that needs to be finished TODAY. pictures are due in soon.

And yesterday i agreed to quilt 2 tops before Christmas for a dear friend. ... but the tops aren't quite done yet....hurry Mary. LOL

And i have 2 customer quilts that i said would be done by the end of the year....might happen...might not.

And i have a house closing coming up in a week or so....which will require me to be gone from home for 2 days.  Yikes!!

And i like to make cookies for Christmas.

And my sister reminded me the other day that i usually make Chex Mix for Christmas and she was looking forward to some of it.  Sis, i made 2 batches last night. hopefully 2 more today.

And i really, really need to cut my hair...i look like something in a scary movie.

So, i better get busy and start my day. how is your scheduling coming along? stay sane.
