Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.....



We had several big pretty fires in the fireplace in the last week. Wednesday night was really cold and very windy, but I was warm inside. No snow though, just that bitter Oklahoma wind. The weatherman just said that we might get snow next week, yeah!! I love it as long as I can stay inside and be cozy!

Not a bunch of sewing going on around here, but I have been decorating the house for Christmas. Just have the outside balls to hang and the Christmas village to put up, which is quite a job. Here are my favorite Christmas glasses, they are vintage but I'm not sure from when. Probably the 60's.



Sharon and I did have a great mini shop hop on Wednesday. We went to Prairie Quilts , The Savage Quilter
and Oklahoma Quiltworks. Very quick trip, but The Savage Quilter has 25% off of everything until today, I believe. We also signed up for a 2 day applique class at the end of January. I know how to applique but I just want to get really comfortable with it. The teacher is a fairly young woman and she uses all new techniques. I am looking forward to this class so much and so is Sharon , I think. I didn't buy very much, but I'll try to take pics later today to show everyone tomorrow.


Time to get busy or at least think about it.

I just love your house..I always feel warmth and comfort there. I
had a great time last week and can't wait till we get to take our
new class. I'm so blessed to be able to share my days with you in
person and not on cyber time. Sharon

Goodness, Ranette! I wasn't going to decorate our house, this year... and your pictures ALMOST made me change my mind! LOL

Come to think of it, if I had the money (and time) to visit you, it would probably be a better idea than decorating, here! *grin*

Looks LOVELY!!!!

Tks for sharing, my friend!

Hi Ranette, Thanks for visiting my blog, I've just been going through your posts, I think we have similar tastes. You have made some really gorgeous quilts! I have to add you to my favourites now.
