It may still be fall but I went to my first Christmas open house
this is one sweet shop. It is in a barn and her focus is stitching
but they do have some rug hooking. Her wool is lovely.
I bought a couple of books,red dot and this wreath/ candle holder
I know it is hard to see. I just love it I have kept it on the inside door so I can enjoy it.
I got a chance to attend my rug hooking guild meeting and it was quillies
day!
I had never made them before it was fun except when I burned my thumb so badly putting them on the tree form, it has bubbled up.
Ok I know I have been talking about Christmas but really
I decorate for thanksgiving.
These are old they are made from paper ribbon. My aunt gave them to me years ago. (the turkey is a candle)

What a week we had Last Sunday Oct 29th we had a northeaster
but with rain instead of snow. It took trees and light poles down by the dozens. We lost power about midnight. By Thursday I was desperate for power. And luckily we got it back! I feel for those who have been out a month or more in a Puerto Rico God bless them.

We also drove to Boston this week for husband's yearly which he did great.
Have a great week everyone!!!
I've been to a couple of Christmas open houses too but I do have Thanksgiving decorations up. My favorite craft show is this coming weekend and that has been a tradition of mine for about 30 yrs or more. I don't buy much now since I really don't need anymore decorations but it's fun to just walk around and see what's for sale! I love your candle wreath...enjoy! We had tornado warnings and super bad storms tonight but didn't lose power..thank goodness. So glad hubby had a good report. One more thing to be thankful for! Take care Cathy
ReplyDeleteLove the wreath, nice to have a light on it, good idea for mine, I can easily do a candle myself and nicer for the front then a dark wreath at night. I used to do trees with glue guns, tempted to try some but the cones are so expensive now.

OUCH!!! Just reading about your burn makes me cringe.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine being without power for 5 days. I'm happy you finally have it restored.
Hugs :)

I love the acorn wreath with the candle. So sorry about the burnt fingers while making your quilly project. I hope your fingers are getting healed.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad David is doing good. Way to go.
We are having rain today but it's warm. I had to turn on my fan during the night, even though O had my heat off. Just crazy weather but at least, it's not snowing.
Take care, Hugs, Julia
I have burned myself making trees like that last year. I could feel it to myself when I read that. I still want to make those trees. I am so glad you got your power back on, that was a long time. We have finally cold weather, so I know you are enjoying yours. Every thing looks so pretty and ready for Thanksgiving. I love decorating for Thanksgiving too. I love your things. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHow fun those quillies look! We some some snow last week as well. I am thinking about Christmas myself. Janice
ReplyDeleteI just refuse to decorate for Christmas until Thanksgiving weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I decorate too early, everything is covered with dust by Christmas. LOL
I don't rug hook but get inspiration from those who do.
