Let the Decorations Begin!

Well... I decided to start the decorating festivities a bit early... I usually wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving.. but since everything is different this year because of the Pandemic.. I thought why not be different too! I actually put up my white Christmas tree with all white and sparkly decorations... the next day,,, I took it down! pretty but just to plain! So instead I put up my red tree,,,with white trimings.. much better. I will post some photos,, but my camera is old and the quality of the photos are not so good..

Oh good stars! I just realized, I hadn't taken any photos on my camera,, I guess I will do so tomorrow and then post a photo of the tree..

love my small collection of Nut Crackers,, it's the German in me.

I only put up 3 of my mini trees,,, normally I have them all over the house..

I have also par'ed down my woodland scene...

I will try to get some better photos and when I do, I'll replace these.. but for now,, let the Christmas decorating festivities begin! HoHoHo!

Well, I got some Blogger Bugs Worked Out!

Well, I finally got some Blogger Bugs worked out,,, for now! I have been kind of busy in my sewing room,, I was in several sewing swaps,, and go figure, I forgot to take photos of some of my projects before I mailed them off... BTW... Postage is getting Expencive!!!!

The recent swap I am in is a Wine Bottle deco bag swap... So I quilted up a wine bottle bag with Christmas fabric... I made 2 matching plate pads and 2 mug rugs from the same fabric as well....

I did a little baking as well... Yummy Banana Rum & Chocolate Chip bread.. Oh MY it turned out fabulous!

I also finally mastered my mom's Greis soup, thanx to a lovely friend, Jutta, in Berlin, who was able to fine the correct recipe for me.

I found (another) delightful double decker Hat Box... and for only $3.99 at a local Thrift...

And, I machine embroidered some $ hanging gift tags... I need to pick up some candy canes to tuck into them as well.. Well, that's it for now,, time to go have another slice of my yummy Banana bread.. Stay Home, Stay Safe, 2021 will be a better year my friends...

Well, Blogger doesn't like me,, again...

Well,,, it seems Blogger does not like me again,,, I can't open my reading list, I can't open my comment list, I can't open 'Settings" .. all I can do is open "see my blg,, and 'post'.. uugh! So if you have commented on my postings, please do not be offended that I have not approved them to be published.. I just can't see any comments... Oh Sigh!
