So Busy!

On Monday, we had our annual BOTV mailing party.  Several of the Best of the Valley gals got together to put together the mass mailing of entry forms, etc. for the upcoming show.

 If you're not on the mailing list, you can download the entry form and guidelines here.

Last week, I finished some heart ornaments.  The stocking ornaments are still under construction.

 I finally finished marking Penny's Pinwheel.  Here it is, waiting to be basted.  oh wait!  You can't see it!  I covered it with a sheet, just in case the cat needed to check it.  And he did.  Of course he did.

 And here it is, all basted and ready for hand quilting.  I've already got 4-1/2 years invested into this quilt.  What's another 4-1/2 to get it quilted, right?  :D

Once the mailing party was over and the quilt basted, I took the tables out to the garage and commenced decorating for Christmas.  Here's what I've got so far:

 Actually, the above is what I want you to see.  Here below is what it actually looks like:

Goals are good, and the current one is to be able to take a picture of this same view, without all of the piles of decorations-in-waiting.

I'll leave you with visions of a fully decorated room, and wish you the most blessed of Christmas seasons.
