Hustle and Bustle

Sorry about my blog slacking. Working two jobs has been pretty demanding lately. On top of that I have some wonderful craft projects that I am working on for Christmas and they have consumed all my "extra" time. Last night I spent 5 hours in my sewing room/spare bedroom/office working on 5 Swing Bags for a friend to give his sisters for Christmas (pictures coming soon). It was a long night but I really enjoyed making them! Now I'm going to move on to finish 2 other quilts for Christmas gifts and another special something for my friend who is expecting. I'm excited about these ones too! Hopefully this is the begining of what my sister and I will call The Village Shop. The Village Shop is currently an empty etsy shop but I'm confident that after the new year we will have it full of wonderful creations. Our brains are brimming with ideas...Maybe someday we'll have our own physical shop.


The weather in Georgia is depressingly warm. Yesterday we had the windows down and the sunroof open with Christmas songs on the radio. It just feels wrong. Warm wather makes me even more excited to spend Christmas at home in Utah because it really won't be Christmas until we get there. 9 more days until we fight the holiday crowds at the airport.


For now I love that Katie has introduced me to this blog. I don't feel the least bit guilty about blog-stalking this gal because her blog is so great she must want to share it! I love love love the inside of her house and all the wonderful decorations:


Meanwhile....I hope you enjoy the Christmas music. It took me all day to put it together!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!

I hope my Utah blog readers will save us some snow because I really am dreaming of a white Christmas. A few of my blog friends have posted about recent snow fall. Snow is a pain but I sure miss it. Last night I had on a knee length skirt and flip flops and didn't even get a chill! "They" say a cold front is blowing in and I hope it is true. But Georgia cold fronts don't usually produce snow. The funny thing is that if we get snow at all here in Georgia the whole town will shut down. Yay for snow days!

I'm really thinking I will try to get my hands on a copy of White Christmas . . . anyone want to come over for movie night?
