Let It Snow.. Let It Snow.. Let It Snow!

I know you Wyoming girls won't be impressed, but we had a very beautiful snow today!  Yesterday we were out in our short sleeves, and today we put on our mittens, scarves, coats, etc. and we played in the snow!  This was a rather big deal for us because we don't get snow very often in Wickenburg.  I loved it!!

So after I played outside, I came in and played.  I finished off a couple of projects I've been working on.

And I want to wish you a very happy New Year!  We are going to bring in the new year very quietly at home, looking out the window at the beautiful snow!!

Today I finished a quilt that I made for myself!  I started it 7-18-13.  Here is the post I made on my old blog, sewoldsewnew.blogspot.com.

I have taken it out now and again to work on the stitching/quilting, and today I decided I really wanted to finish it.  I set it out, stitched all the little places that were not done and sewed the antique ruffle edge around it.  I am so danged happy!

The fun thing about this quilt is that I can continue adding quotes, important dates and even photos.  It has pieces of old and pieces of new.  It is definitely a work of heart!

First of all, Merry Christmas!  It has been such a busy time but I wanted to take a moment to thank you for visiting my web page.  I started my vacation on Saturday.  I made 13 dozen tamales.

Sunday I made a few decorations that I saw on Pinterest!

Monday I went to downtown Phoenix to figure out how to pay my sales tax for the shows I did this year.  There must be an easier way!  Anyway, I got that done and went Christmas shopping,  Nothing like waiting until the last minute!

Tuesday I cleaned my house and then took a hike up the hill with my hubby and had a nice glass of wine.

And here we are on Wednesday, Christmas Eve.  I'm ready to see my son and Amanda!  Everything is ready and I look forward to spending time with my family!

Merry Christmas and I will try to put together some new posts soon.

Decorative Glass Block Lights

There are so many really cute saying out now, and here are a couple of my new favorites!  I printed the sayings off the computer and I used decoupage to attach them to these glass blocks.  The blocks I had already came with lights, but one of them quit working.  I very patiently pulled the set of lights out of the block light by light!  It was a pain in the rear but it was worth it when I was finished.  Wouldn't these be perfect in a child's bedroom or bathroom?

I spent the day working on Christmas projects!  I made this Christmas window and stockings.

Then I painted this vintage box, and cracked the wood because I didn't quit when I was screwing the lid on.  "Oh, brother!"

Finally, I added greenery to these springs my sister had given me.  I really like them.

Little French Bureau

I hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving!  I took some time to spend with family and then I took a bit of time for some much needed rest.  I read a good book, slept, relaxed and spent some quality time with my mister.  It was so very nice!!
I just finished painting this little wood bureau.  I hope I didn't reduce the value by painting it, but it didn't sell when it was just plain wood, so I dressed it up a little.
