Christmas is coming . . .

It's time to get serious about Christmas sewing.

So I've pulled out the arsenal.

First: my favorite Christmas movie

Second: the last little bit of my favorite fabric is becoming a table runner

Third: my second favorite Christmas cookie (these are Christmas cookies in my book because I make them and give them as gifts - they travel really well!)

Fourth: A great Christmas story to read to my kids at night

And Fifth: the BEST Christmas album EVER! All day, every day.

I'm ready.

Now if only my kids read the memo.

And so it begins . . .

Do you ever do things you are totally terrified of?

My knees are knocking, I'm so scared. (Really, have your knees ever knocked together? I bet it would really hurt!)

I've wanted to start this little business for a long, long time. Finally I went with the "why not now?" attitude.

So here goes. What's this blog all about? My crafting and creating. My obsessions with fabric. My quilts and other stuff.

I'll be hosting giveaways and I'm working on a couple tutorials for ya. I warn you - I trained as a pastry chef, so baked goods factor into my world at any given moment. Be prepared for a recipe every now and again.

So join me on the porch swing! Bring your embroidery, your applique, or just a glass of lemonade and the best gossip you've got.

First giveaway will be as a part of the Sew Mama Sew giveaway day on December 12. I'd better get sewing for that! There will be some "supply" giveaways too.

In the meantime - happy quilting!
