A New Season

I've really been enjoying seeing everyone's Christmas decorating!

So ya'll have inspired me to get with it .. the season, that is. Not sure if I want to haul out the big box and go the whole nine yards of decorating this year, though.  Some years I do it, some years I don't. As you can probably see, we're crowded pretty tight in our little house, so a tree is out of the question anyway. Meanwhile, at least I changed out my quilts.

While I don't really make actual Christmas quilts, these more or less fit the season. The other colors nicely balance out the reds and greens imo.

I think I might be able to manage getting a nice poinsettia for the mantle. And some pinecones, if I can find some. I've got lots of other stuff that could go up there too, but like I said.... 

am I being a humbug? or just lazy?

Not sure what that big shadow is in the corner - maybe my finger in front of the lens?

 

 This was my first real "blended" quilt, which was really fun to make.  I adore those Moda prints!

 

I decided to use the back of this quilt for my dining table topper, with the little mini made by my MIL as a centerpiece. 

Two days later  -

I got my poinsettias...

 

and my pine cones...

 

I walked a few blocks down to a "country road" this afternoon and scored these - they're pretty dirty and about half of them are closed. I need to clean them up a bit, then bring them inside and see if more of them open up. 

Already I've done more than I thought I would. Hmm.... maybe I'll get in the mood yet!

love,

Sandy
