Winners and Paloozers
December 18th, 2010
First order of business is announcing the winners of my Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day and the Where Women Create 12 Days of Christmas little bundles of my Holiday Happy fabric. I received THE nicest comments and wish I could give a bundle to everyone who entered. I feel like the winner of my own giveaway!
SMS winner: is comment #977 Katie of Gnomemade!
WWC winner: Announced on WWC here.
PS - Check out what Ramona made with her recent win of one of my giveaways! So cute I could weep!
[Random “Christmas in Happy Zomlandia” photo so I’m in compliance with myNo Photo, No Post rule - and all I need now are some cookies.]
I’m so excited to be participating in the first-ever Bloggers’ Block-a-palooza! So without further ramblings - here’s a message from our Chief Paloozer, John of QuiltDad!
Chief Paloozer says:
By now, many of you are busy making the final push towards the holidays. But what are your crafty plans as we enter 2011? Well, clear your plate, because we have a great quilt-along planned that will begin in January!
18 quilt bloggers have collaborated to bring you the first-ever Bloggers’ Block-a-palooza. We’ll jump from blog to blog making 2 quilt blocks per week, wrapping up with a custom setting and layout design to help complete your quilt.
We’re calling this quilt-along “Waiting for Spring” because we’ll be using the brand new Sunkissed line by Sweetwater for Moda, and the bright colors and botanical prints should help you (or at least those of you in the Northern hemisphere!) push through the cold winter months and have a fresh new quilt ready for the Spring.
More details will be available soon, but in the meantime feel free to grab our button below and spread the word.

December 25th, 2010Hi, I am enjoying perusing your blog, I especially like your material. I was wondering if you had made the lamp shade in the photo with the tree?
Thanks for sharing :-).

Thanks, Jaunita! The lampshade is from IKEA a few years back.

Lovely holiday decor. The block-a-palooza almost makes me want to put down the knitting to quilt…almost.
December 27th, 2010There is no way I’m ever letting Max see pictures of your house at Christmas time. He’ll decide to adopt you, cause, who wouldn’t?!
Incidentally, Philip just mentioned a possible trip to Astoria to see what’s up and to visit you. Out of the blue. I hope you still live there by the time we make it over!!
I hope you have an awesome New Year!!
