Or is it something black or something red!
I don't remember right now. I did add some black by making a little table topper. I added a black frame to Zoe's picture plus a red candle holder. I hope I covered the bases.
So, here is my black and red
This candle holder, also has
Black! Plus it is bigger.
I think I might like this one better, not sure!
Using a plain black frame I think it works.
Still thinking I should perk up the frame
a bit.
That is my attempt at decorating this week!
I am thinking that fabric might make nice trim on the bath towels. Bringing some black into the bathroom.
Simple setting
I can't remember where I got this picture
but I think the tittle was simple table-setting. It is very basic yet very pretty
and welcoming.
I have gotten away from 'setting' the table.
Looking at this picture I an sad that I have not been taking a few seconds to set the table even if there is just two of us.
Do you set the table?
So, I will be using my 'fun' dishes for a meal once in awhile.
Will have to come up with something for these dishes.
Maybe I should say "Hi Louise". Hope you were able to find me. I am Everythingsewing journal now, it helps in finding me.
Back to the topic:
Here is how I am doing my baby quilt, the disappearing nine patch.
Make a nine patch
This one is not sewn together, to show you
how you can lay them out;
Keep in mind the blocks that will be cut apart. Move the blocks around until you are happy. Once you are happy, sew the rows together, to make a nine patch block.
Your next step with be to cut the patch in quarters. Sew those quarters back together, to remake your block.
I didn't want any seams to
to line up!
I could spend hours playing with
different combinations.
Missouri Quilt company has an excellent
tutorial on making this quilt.
Oh yes, it is cold!
It also comes but once a year to
special places.
Everyone doesn't get snow.
My little world is transformed into a snow world. Everything is white and clean.
When the sun shines, and it does, the little corner of the world is again transformed. This time to a world full of sparkling diamonds.
With little cotton balls, in place of leaves. All to soon, this fantasy world is gone.

Time for a change
I will be changing the name of my blog. It will be even better ( I hope). There will still be an everythingsewing blog, it also is doing some changes.
So don't be surprised when you see a different blog name with those you are following. I hope you continue to like what we will do here.
I can't believe we
still have a hummer!
Hard to get a picture she is such a blur. I think she is a she! I thought all the hummers were gone and had taken down the feeder.
I looked out one day and saw this hummer trying desperately to try feeding from the
wind chimes.
So we quick mixed up some food and put the feeder back out. Come to find out, this hummer is called Anna Hummingbird and is native to the west coast. We do not live on the west coast, so it has been interesting feeding her all winter.
As long as we have been able to keep the nectar from freezing, which has been a real chore in temperatures dropping to 9.
What is it about snow that makes us want to just snuggle down? It must be an age thing because I can remember getting so excited when it snowed. Out came the ski's and the ice skates, now out comes the logs for the fire and a cup of hot cocoa.
So while I am enjoying sitting in front of the fire, it is time for list making. One of the goals I have is to re-do my Christmas gift calendar. I did this many years ago and it was wonderful. I had all my gifts, done wrapped and under the tree on December one. A lot of those gifts were made by me and not some Chinese person. Not that there is anything wrong with gifts coming by way of China straight to Wal-Mart.
So what I will do, is start a Christmas Gift Calendar and put it on my pages, which are on the right side of the blog. This will help me reach my goal and I hope it will help you.
