Holly and the Ivy
 
Well, the would be this Halle…not the Christmas spelling, which is the wrong spelling in my opinion. :-)
Anyway….I’m trying my best to root this ivy cutting that was given to me. Not like I really need another house plant but I have a hard time resisting them especially when they are FREE!
Stop by our hostess with the mostess, Kimmie’s blog, to see what she and the rest of the girls are doing this last Tuesday before Christmas.

Gift from Kansas
My good friend Eilzabeth surprised with with another one of her quiltlets. This one is made from some of her fabrics she used to demo some techniques on her blog.
I love the the greens and the free-motion stitching she used.

She also included an extra tip-in for my Blue book. 
I think I have enough pages now to put it together. 
Pretty sure I’m going to have to wait until after Christmas for that one.

Catching up
After feeling a bit under the weather and then having to make up for lost time on the homefront, I’m way behind with blogging. I’ll try to get caught up here in the next couple of days.  
The pages I gave a sneak peek of arrived to Jan of Dandelion and Daisy.  

Her colors were pink and orange, using either as the dominant color for each page. I love both colors so I had fun pulling these pages together.

More catching up tomorrow… with cards and gifts.

Sick tea

I think a nice hot mug of tea, a blanket and some old magazines are just what the doctor ordered. At least Dr. Mom…

I’m sure you’ll find much more interesting Tea tales over at Kimmies blog today.

Another sneak peek

 
These are the last pages in the 6 person “Colors” swap that I’ve been participating in over the last 6 months or so. 
The pages will hit that mail stream today…I’ll be able to show you all of it very soon.

Jade tip-ins
I can finally show the completed pages I gave a little sneak peek about so long ago. I was very behind with these and then when I actually finished them…I set them aside and forgot to mail them for a week or two. DUH!
This photo doesn’t show it that well but there is a blue-ish tint to the green giving it more of a jade color.
This second one was inspired by
an early episode of Mad Men.
Mr. Cooper’s office had an Asian theme.
He had this great bamboo plant in the corner near the window. This is my interpretation.
I added words from a fortune cookie to get a little red into the page.

Patchwork Ornament

This came from a small oddly shaped patchwork piece in my stash. It was going to be one of the tissue packs but got buried under other bits and pieces. 
Now I’m glad it did! 
Makes a cute puffy heart ornament.
