Welcome!

I love working with crafts, rug hooking, wool felt, penny rugs and stitcheries. Primitives are my favorites, but I also love to mix different styles of decorating.

Please sit back, relax and enjoy my blog.

I'm Behind With the Holiday Cheer

The pictures posted above are from last year. I haven't got any of my holiday decorations out yet and haven't even started my shopping for the holidays. My significant other and I spent 16 hours over the Thanksgiving weekend decorating the conference room floor of my employer (a large law firm). It turned out beautiful and I've had many compliments about how lovely it is. But since then I've had no motivation to get my fall stuff put away and start getting out the holiday decorations at home. I have a large amount of fall decorations that I put out and it's rather overwhelming to put it all away and then get started getting all the holiday stuff out. I have a rug hooking event for my guild this Saturday, but I'm determined to get started on the decorating when I get home on Saturday afternoon. We'll see... It sounds good, but I lose my motivation easily. I usually would have my holiday decorations out by now, but taking the whole Thanksgiving weekend to decorate somewhere else kinda put a damper on that. Granted I did the decorating at work because they paid me and I need the money to buy Christmas gifts. It's all such a vicious circle!!

I'm trying to make a promise to myself that I'll get a lot of it accomplished this weekend. I'll post later about whether that happens or not!
