This Side of Normal

Okay...I think I am finally getting better and starting to feel more normal, although "normal" is not a term most people would use when describing me! LOL! That was one mother of a cold!  Don't you find colds are different now than when we were kids?  I guess those little germs have mutated along with everything else. Thank you everyone who sent Get Wells! 

The sucky side of being so sick is THAT I DIDN'T GET ANY SEWING DONE!!!  I was starting to get depressed just from not being able to do any stitching or cutting or piecing or quilting; and, even though, logically, I knew it was because I was so sick, illogically, I was whining inside from the lack of creative stimulation.  Okay, maybe, just maybe I was whining on the outside too LOL!

Yesterday, I finally got to MAKE something!!!  and better yet, something Christmasy!  We have this red toweling at the shop and I have been wanting to use it forever and this was the day!  I came up with my own candy cane and holly design, frayed the towel edges and Voila!  I'm so happy with it!

I used Yo Yo's for the berries but you could use wool, buttons, or fabric circles.  I like a 3D effect on things once in a while and have a little weakness for yoyo's.

AND, a little of this was gifted into my life last week!

A FQ selection of my BLISS! LOL! I think the only thing nicer than Bliss would be Bliss AND Dark Chocolate LOL!

I have so much blog reading to catch up on...I read one or two last week but then I would have to go lay down, so I just gave up on it!  Anything new out there I really NEED to know about?  

Happy quilting and cold free wishes going out to all of you!:)
