Coming up… Christmas in July!

So very little sewing happening around here, because I’ve been drawing, drawing, drawing… and writing patterns.

A blessed time

Do you feel 2016 has been a tremendously chaotic and painful year for our world? It seems to me this last year has been charged with more hate, turmoil and sadness than in previous years.

A Victorian Advent Calendar

I’m a big Jacquie Lawson fan, and love using her greeting cards for all kinds of occasions all year long. My absolute favorite, however, has to be her Advent Calendars. Haven’t missed one yet!

Christmas in July

We’re kicking it off today! This might very well be my favorite time of year –other than the Christmas season itself– because I have so much fun designing holiday projects!

Right around the corner

Mid-year, that is. As usual, time flies when you’re having fun, and this year has been no exception. In just a few days, July will be rolling in.

Are you ready for Christmas?

That is, for Christmas in July! Wow, where did the time go? It’s amazing to me that we are already at the mid-year point. And yes, that means that starting on Monday, July 1, we will be starting our traditional Christmas in July celebration at Angie’s Bits ‘n Pieces.

Many years ago my brothers and I decided to not buy live Christmas trees any more. The only exception in the family was my mother – everybody agreed there HAD TO be a live tree at her house, as this is where we spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
