And the Angels Sang Hallelujah.....


 Tonight we celebrate a miracle.  

It's easy to forget that, as we get caught up in the glitter

and hustle of modern-day Christmas.

So take a few minutes and remember what happened

so very long ago,

An event so momentous the angels sang

HALLELUJAH

The seemingly insignificant birth of 

a seemingly insignificant baby

that would change the world.

For unto us a child is born,

Unto us a son is given.

And the government shall be upon his shoulders.

His name shall be called

Wonderful Counsellor

Mighty God

Everlasting Father

Prince of Peace



Merry Christmas, and may you always remember 
the true reason for the season.  

Hallelujah!!

Make-A-List Monday - Taking a Week Off For the Holidays!

 

Hi, all!

It occurred to me this evening that this is a very short week, as we will be celebrating Christmas with our young'uns on Thursday and then the holiday is Friday - so - - - I'm giving myself the gift of a week off!  I'll be back next Monday with an update on last week's list and a new list for the last week of the year.  And maybe some goals for the new year!

So have a wonderful week celebrating in whatever way you can in this weird weird year of 2020....


See you next week!!!

Hugs!

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Chasing Squirrels!

 

Hi, all!

It's Friday again - and only one more week until Christmas!!  I'm sure there's lots of secret sewing going on everywhere - but I hope you'll have something you can share.  Maybe, like me, you've chased a few squirrels this week!  So let's get our whoop whoop on!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*


This week I managed to get every. single. bit. of my Christmas shopping and wrapping finished!  I've never been all ready for Christmas a week ahead of time - and it's a great feeling.  I actually had time to chase some squirrels today!


As I was cleaning up in preparation for the next project, I came across these pretty super-skinny strings in my tabletop trash can.  Now, I love Kate Spain fabric, and throwing away any piece of it, no matter how small, hurts my heart.  So I found some clothesline and decided to make a rope bowl!



It turned out really nice, I think!  It's been a while since I made a rope bowl, but I've still got the knack, apparently.  


After I finished it, I laid it on the kitchen table so my husband could see it. Apparently he liked it, because he immediately put something in it and claimed it for his own.



Looks like I stopped at the perfect time on that bowl, too - I wasn't aware I was playing thread chicken, but at least I won!


If one squirrel is good, then two is even better, right?  I tried out a great technique I saw on TikTok for making snowflakes out of paper bags - super easy and, if I say so myself, really cute!


So - - - can I get a whoop whoop?

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?


What's making you do a little happy dance?

Share!  We want to dance right along with you,

And it's always more fun to dance with friends!

The party will stay open until Sunday midnight.

Hope to see you there!

Hugs!
