Blockheads Week #39 Question of the Week
Have you started your Christmas preparations? Baking? Shoppping? Made a gift-wish list for yourself?Kinda. I watch for interesting small gifts throughout the year for stocking stuffers (I LOVE stockings!) that I think the adults and grankids will like based on their hobbies/passions - wine glasses with built in ice cubes for Amanda, simple clothing patterns/fabric for Aleece, golf stuff for the twins, dinner and a movie for Nicole. Of course, anything electronic for the boys. Some silly, some really cool. After what the family calls "gift interogations" at Thanksgiving, I make my final lists. Baking? No so much. Everyone brings appetizers and desserts so I don't have to cook as much. I love the variety of items from homemade meatballs to sushi to Brent's famous bacon-wrapped jalepenos to Nicole's best chocolate chip cookies EVER! It's an eclectic mix, but so fun to try a bite (or two) of everything.
Block #39 - Framed Star by Jo Morton
Jo's star would make a wonderful red/green Christmas quilt, right? Kathy made her version in low contrast reds with earth tones. Lovely. Joy chose red/tan/blue for a patriotic vibe. Love'em both.

Happy Shopping!
I’m behind in everything this year. Especially decorating. I haven’t thought of one gift yet. I’m usually finished shopping by December 1. Geez! I need an intervention!
ReplyDeleteI have decorated and hung the stockings! The tree is getting smaller as I get older. That way there is less ornaments to hang. I'm trying to simplify. Both kids are gone and live far away. My daughter may come home though. I have finished MOST of my shopping but reserve the right to add some things.
ReplyDelete.I am pretty much pleased with your good work.You put really very helpful information... golf stuff
