decorations and bits

Christmas is a time when families and friends get together to enjoy a meal, a few drinks and a good laugh, it doesn't matter if your sitting down to a sandwich instead of the traditional roast dinner or seafood meal, it's the people your with that make it. I love making the house christmasie, each year I create a theme on the tree, it's been pink and silver, purple and silver, but this year I've done it in red and gold, I think it looks like those huge decorated ones you see in the major stores. I've got my singing bears on the dresser, my christmas quilt (finished intime) hanging on the wall, hanging santa in my dining room and bits and bobs everywhere..while I was doing all this over the weekend I had Christmas carols playing on the stereo just to create the ambiance .... IT REALLY IS CHRISTMAS.
On a quilty note, I don't think I'll get to finish Paul's quilt intime for Christmas, so I will give it to him but I'll have to take it back so I can finish it. He became a grandfather just a few weeks ago and asked me if I could make him a baby quilt so he can give it to her as a christmas gift but I've been too busy trying to complete his but I feel guilty about not doing it as he didn't hesitate when I asked him if he could make me a quilt stand so I hope when he see's the one I've made him he will understand why I couldn't make the baby one.
I will post pictures of my decorations and quilt stand as soon as I upload them.
Thats it from me for another day........tada.
