With snow falling for the last several days here, is it any wonder my thoughts are turning towards Christmas?
It is only four inches so far, but still enough to remind me that I need to start planning and thinking of the holidays.
Of course it's easy to get excited about the snow coming when I'm inside drinking hot tea and you know who has to do all of the shoveling.....
This is what I'm currently working on-new pillow shams for our bedroom.
Hopefully I'll get them finished this week....
And, hopefully, the whole bedroom...
These are my inspiration pillow shams!
And what are you up to on this Tuesday?
Nothing so lovely as beautiful pillow shams. I'm making tea towels with appliqued images.
ReplyDeleteSnow does make a gal feel as if things are changing. Have you played any Christmas music yet? I am considering it even though there's no snow forecast for today.
The snow is beautiful! We're getting a dusting right now. Those shams will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKimberly, I hope your"you know who" got some hot cocoa when he finished the shoveling :):) It snowed here last night, about a 1/2 inch...and now that's enough for me.:):) Stay warm, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThe snow looks beautiful! I love your pillow shams.
ReplyDeleteToday I am working on flying home safely from my little vacation.
So jealous of the snow! LOL. Would love to see some here in GA! Sounds like a cozy time. Can't wait to see the pillow shams!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot more snow up there...then here in southern Ontario.
ReplyDeleteMy day is a mix of things but yours sounds cozy. Stay warm.
oh how I would love to see some snow! We are suppose to get into the eighties today...sigh, not very Christmasy. I have been working on embroidering the shirts for the babies these last couple of days, but today it is time to address these grey roots, lol. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteGracious, snow already! I would choose sewing before shoveling snow too, haha!
ReplyDeleteYour snow looks pretty as you show
ReplyDeleteon first picture.Oh yes hubbys do have that job . They are stronger. They do a better job. When I was younger I used to do it also and enjoy it.
Oh will that look nice when finished your sewing project.
I have had my head in my craft room all this week.
Making myself and album and many others to follow.For self. I have done so many albums for others. I am not thinking about me.
Trying all different ways of my design covers and in-between reading my second book.
We have snow also not sure if it is going to stay.
It looks sooo pretty! But I'm glad I don't have to do any shoveling yet.
ReplyDeleteOh those are gorgeous- I need to make new pillowcases, but I have been in a horrible lazy slump lately. Need to snap out of it!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow shams are so romantic and beautiful. We had snow here yesterday too and more on the way.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Your snow looks wonderful. It would put me in the mind for Christmas too.
ReplyDeleteYour snow scene is so pretty and it would certainly get me in the mood for Christmas! I'm almost ready to take down the fall decor and put up Christmas stuff now even tho Thanksgiving is still a couple of weeks away.
ReplyDeleteLove your inspiration for pillow shams. They will be so pretty!
Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm making cookies, and piddling a little inside the house. Keeping warm!!!
We got snow-like a inch & it is still blowing snow. Very pretty..not as much as yours though. It is very cold here(*25). ANYWAYS-Love the pillow sham inspiration. Not doing much here, had to take hubby to the ear dr. Now, I am on my 2 nd cup of coffee. (ok, 4th since 6 am, lol.) BLESSINGS
ReplyDeleteI was freaking out over the dusting we got this morning. I am not ready for it yet, but the weather will warm back up into the 60s here in a few days so that will be nice. Love the pillow sham inspiration. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteAfternoon, oh the snow is so pretty I do like the snow, all 4 Seasons.........love the shams your working on, will be beautiful........My thoughts also are turning to the holidays, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteI'm turning sheets of birch bark into little canoes for the tree!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of you pillow shams, I love the all white look,
We got snow here too, but only a couple of inches, and it will melt the next few days because it is supposed to warm up. Pretty pillows!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I finished my beret that I crocheted. Today I went to our new (to us) gym to work out. Then Miguel and I went shopping for work out clothes. He bought new shoes, and shorts and I bought workout pants and a shirt. Any excuse to shop, right?
ReplyDeleteLove , love, love the pillow sham! Not so much the snow.
ReplyDeleteYou will be showing off your bedroom when completed, right?
It looks wintery there Kimberly. And pretty too. I like your new pillow sham and the inspiration photo. I'm sure they will look pretty when completed. Today I went to Bible study in the morning and this afternoon I started Christmas decorating. I can't seem to get into it though. It will take me a couple more days and I'm in town tomorrow. I won't put the tree up yet although I've seen a couple up and lit already! Have fun sewing.
ReplyDeleteThe snow looks beautiful. We are getting cool temps and cold wind...but no snow yet.
ReplyDeleteI really like your pillow slips/shams...pretty. I like the ruffles. Your inspiration photo is pretty too.
While on the subject of pretty photos...I forgot to tell you, I like your new profile picture. So pretty!
Stay warm my friend. ~Pat
Kind of chuckling at snow inspiring your Christmas thoughts. Our first snow was the first of October and snow has fallen four more times since then. One day fall colors rule, then snowy winter white then the temps soar back to "sit on the deck and sun bath" summer kind of days. Opening the windows each morning is a real surprise!
ReplyDeleteMy project is updating our "bug out" rolling suitcase. When we lived in Houston we saw how one can be evacuated in 30 minutes! Having a suitcase packed with emergency info and emergency supplies and grab lists should be a must have for everyone. Lists like what heirloom jewelry to take, meds, legal docs etc is helpful to have when crazy times hit. Keeping batteries, addresses and pet/people food is tricky though.
I see you are keeping your self buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy! Awe so much whiteness.. christmas thoughts have not arrived in my thoughts yet - will until now - what to do g=for grandchildren.. That photo makes me so ready to jump into all that soft looking bed..
ReplyDeleteHey, sweet friend - stay safe and keep warm..Is your cold GONE?
I still have a cough..err
Oh Kimberly that snow would have me pulling out my décor for sure. We have been in the upper 60's here. I'm loving it, but tomorrow it's going to drop and be cold for a week. Wonder if we'll see snow? Love the bedding and your shams are looking darling!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Hi Kimberly
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment at Kathy's cottage and came by for a visit. Snow already! You must live pretty far north! My niece has a vacation place onLake Superior and they had snow there already. I am originally from Toronto but now we live in North Carolina with its mild winters which I love.
Your photos are beautiful and I like your style. I'll be back to visit again soon and see how you've decorated for Christmas.
I'm glad I found you!
