Remember when Holly had her baking going on over there and all those wonderful gals shared their recipes with us? Well I decided to join right in and make up my recipe for all to see. And then Holly had a contest for the best "comment" and I WON!!!! All my peeps out there in blogland voted for me. So first I wanna thank you, and you, and you,and you and oh yes you too. Well yesterday the mailman flung a box on my porch, oh yes he did fling it. So I ran out to see what it could be. Holly had just e-mailed me to say my surprise was on it's way and it came the same day!! Wow she's totally amazing. How does she make THAT happen? She's good!!
Awww look, pretty blue tissue paper keeping my winnings safe and sound. Let's dig in shall we?? My heart was beating so fast I thought I was gonna have a heart attack!!! Wait!!! I think I see fabric dust coming from the paper.
Oh my GAWD!!!! Do you just wanna take a feel of this???? DO YOU?!!!! These are some big pieces of fabric heaven girls. I am lovin it big time. And look at that rickrack in pink!! Love the pattern, and the charm squares. OMG I am so sooooo happy and I do owe all of you for voting for me. But NO I'm not sharing my fabric. LOL!!!! Thank you Holly!!! You are the best!!!! I can't wait till you have another bake off!! I'M IN!!!
I've been busy sewing up a storm in my sewing haven! I'm busy whippin up some class samples for my new BFF's quilt shop. She's got a blog too. She just started. Up until now she's been lurking on us. Now she's come out of the closet. ROFLOL!!! Oh my did I just say that?? Not THAT closet!!! The fabric closet!!!! Where was I? Oh my samples. I have several that I want to make to teach and Kris said I could teach whatever I want so I am very excited about that. Plus I can use some of my stash which will be nice. Hubby went into the sewing room tonight to work on my Tivo and saw one of the samples and he came out and said, hey I like that quilt you have on the floor in there. So I guess that's a go!!!
I took some pictures of my Christmas decor too. So I thought I'd show you some. It's not much but it's all that's happening over here this year.
Don't you just love this sign?? It doesn't include ANY of you, cause I know you are not a flake!!! LOL!!!!
I love this house. I have a few of these.They are made by a guy in Washington. I buy mine from a shop in St. Charles, Missouri. They are all handmade. This is one of my smaller ones. The fence looks like I was drunk when I put it up. LOL What's a little Christmas cheer right?
This is my newest Hallmark ornament. Is this not the cutest little fridge?? I had to have it. Hubby's words were if I recall............Of course you do!!!!
Here's another one of Nancy No Blog's quilts. I kept asking her what pattern that quilt was and she said I didn't take a photo of it!! WELL Nancy NO BLOG I beg to differ. LOL!!!!!!
I bought this white tree at Kohls this year. It was between the white and the pink one. I really wanted that pink one but decided to go with the white. And I love it!!!
Some of the photos I took with the flash off and some with it on. That's why the different color.
I dont like this photo but I wanted you to see my little table and chairs. Well you really can't see two of the chairs but hubby made this little table and chairs for me years ago and I just love them.
That's it for tonight my wonderful friends and I do mean wonderbar!!! I am just beyond happy this week. It's been a great week for me. Thanks to several of you for different reasons and you all know who you are. Thank you!!! Some things I can't talk about now but will soon. But it's all good in Red Geranium land!!!!
Wow where do I begin...there's so much to comment on. First, where the H**L have I been? working darn it! and I didnt get to read your blog last night :(
Hey I am here now right? So I am glad that you are teaching at this new shop. I need to check out the Japanese fabs before they are gone. I love your christmas decorations. I am very slim on christmas stuff...in 2004 we had a flood in the middle of June while we were in Vegas...12 inches of water in the basement for 4 days equaled $30,000. loss and quite a bit was Christmas/ Holiday stuff..plus furniture...books..you name it. Anyhow I am off on a tangent there...back to you. You did some great pictures. I get so inspired to quilt after I read your blog. Ok now I forgot all the other things I wanted to say...gotta go back and re-read to figure that out...brb...haha

OMG Sharon your decorations are just spectacular...I think you should be in a magazine. I love that quilt with the big snoman head...is that a pattern that's still available somewhere. Your little Annie's are so cute. I need to order some more. They just make me happy.
Are you going to show us the samples for Kris? What a wonderful package from Holly!
What a crazy comment this is...just goes on and on and in no particular order...LOL!

Your happiness just pours out of my computer screen, girlfriend! WooHoo!!!! Good for you!!
The treasures from H2 are simply gorgeous - you must make something from them QUICKLY!! I'm glad you won!
I certainly hope we get to see the class samples you are whipping up - I may even fly down and take a class from you!!
Your Christmas decorations are very pretty and your home looks so warm and inviting. Think I'll come stay for awhile.........heavy sigh!

Your Christmas decorations are wayyyyyyyy cute! Every nook and cranny filled. Love the white tree. I picked up a pink one for the sewing room...I might even plug it in today :-)! Sweet package from Holly! See you soon.
Posted by: Cheryl | November 30, 2007 at 09:59 AM
Gorgeous! Everything looks so inviting I love it. Is that fridge a current ornament? I think I need to go hunt one down...so cute!
Posted by: Tammy | November 30, 2007 at 12:34 PM
Your little batch of fabrics that came in the mail are sweet enough to eat! I think I need those too.
Great decorations at your house. I have been working on getting mine up too.

Hi Sharon. Thanks for sharing all the great pics, love looking at all your goodies. That little Hallmark ornie is too cute. St. Charles, MO, what a great place to shop! Those fabrics are yummy! That flake sign, well, I resemble that remark! LOL I share the little raggedy annie love (couldn't help but notice those in your pics)! Have a great week-end.
Posted by: sherry | November 30, 2007 at 06:02 PM
oh goody more Christmas decoration pics!! I still don't have one thing up and still not sure I'm going to lol. And heck now I "have" to go to the mall tomorrow, I'll try to brave the masses and the rain cuz I've got to have one of those darling little fridges!! That is to cute!
And that snowman quilt, I NEED one of those :) If I ever get my decs out they are mostly santa/snowman themed. So see, I really really need a snowman quilt huh?
Have a great weekend!
Posted by: Terri | November 30, 2007 at 07:27 PM
Is that ALL the decorations you've got?! Way too skimpy. You need MORE!!! Tell Randy to go buy you some more. You need all the reindeers on the roof. Santa's a tad bit lonely all by himself. LOL! Just kidding, Sharon! Fantabulous decorations!
Posted by: Doe | November 30, 2007 at 07:55 PM
Your house looks SO pretty with all the Xmas decorations up!!! ...and how fun that you're getting samples made for classes that you're going to teach !!!!!
P.S. ---that fridge is the cutest thing!! (but where's the 6-pack?)
Posted by: Mary Anne Drury | November 30, 2007 at 09:27 PM

Posted by: Monicaa | December 01, 2007 at 12:28 PM
WOW! You really go to town with the decorating! Looks lovely! My house is really skimpy when it comes to decorating for the holiday! I really don't have the decorating gene! I did buy my wreath! Beautiful things! Thanks for sharing!
