Last nights project

I decided to make 2 fleece "no-sew" blankets to match our new couches, due to arrive next week (our Christmas present to each other).

It was much faster and easier than I expected.

I took 2 yards of a solid and 2 yards of a printed fleece. I prefer anti-pill but you can use whatever you like. Hint: Best time to get your fleece is when Joanns is having a 50% off sale.

I laid the solid color on the floor first and laid the print on top of it. Make sure the wrong sides of the fabrics are laying together. Cut a 4"x4" square out of each corner.

Cut 1" wide strips into the fleece about 4". After all the strips are cut go back and tie the strips in knots.

Pretty Simple eh?

Waiting for the snow

Why is it, when you have no where to go, nothing to do, and could really use a nice bit of snow to put you in the Christmas mood, snow is no where to be found, regardless of what the weather man says? BUT when you have a fabulous day of shopping planned (that requires you to drive 45 minutes to a nearby town) without kids, husband, and a wallet full of cash it comes in buckets accompanied with icy roads?

Today is the first weekend in a long line of weekends that I have nothing to do but bake Christmas cookies, put up some Christmas decorations and listen to Christmas music. My boys are off at their cousins for the day. My husband has a day planned of working on the paintball course, its just me and little lizzie and not a single snowflake can be found? *sigh*

Well heres to hoping there is a little bit of snow in the rest of the weekends forecast.

Early New Year's Resolution

This year I am starting my New Year's Resolution early. I am going to pick up my blogging again. It has been quite a while since I have posted and so much in life has changed. I find myself looking back over my previous posts in awe and amazement at where I have been, how my life has changed, how much my kids and marriage have grown and how God has been steadfast through it all.
