#39 Christmas is over!!

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas...Celebrating the Saviors birth, the lights, the snow, carols, cookies, great food, family, games.....but sometimes getting back to the real world is just what you need after so much indulgence!!! lol

We had an ice storm right before Christmas and the power was out here for 5 days!! Thank God for generators! Or things would have been very bad for the farm, and the animals.... not to mention heat for us. I know many people went through Christmas with no electricity, and some still don't have it back on! Crazy!

I made cinnamon buns for Christmas!!! They were fantastic!!

I lined a pair of the mittens I knit!! Light fleece, they are so warm and soft!

Made a couple of fingerless gloves!! Having a lot of fun with double pointed knitting needles!!

Tried one sock pattern and ended up ripping it out

and made this pattern instead

No sewing went on during Christmas,but can't wait to get back at my WIPS!!!

Coming up soon

Mark your calendars:

Wake Up to Kona Blog Hop

January 7-21st now!!

As long as nothing changes I post on January 10th for the hop!

I will post the schedule and other participant list soon!!

#35 More Holiday Hullabaloo Blog Hop Information

Have you heard of Quilty Box? It is a Subscription Program for Quilters!!

Get Surprised...Get Inspired...Get Quilty!

Quilty Box delivers a package of amazing products each month curated with the coolest fabric companies, designers, bloggers, artists,and organizations across the community.

Quilty Box is your monthly muse to keep you growing and creating.

(this is just me talking from my own consumer experience)
The program wasn't available in Canada at first, but there were some extra October boxes and an instagram message went out...so I quick ordered one, fanastic!! Even better news came that they had worked out the shipping to Canada, so I ordered a November box too. Well you know how crazy things can be when you are starting up, a Quilty Box arrived, and I thought it was my November box. When I opened it, it was another October box. I figured there must have been a mix up when I ordered my November box and they thought I was ordering an October box. I sent off an email, Tabitha had also realized the mistake and was going to be sending me an email too. Long story short.......I have an extra Quilty Box!!! My fortune is your gain!! I am going to put the box up for a give away during the Holiday Hullabaloo Blog Hop (along with all of the other prizes available)!!! So if you haven't heard of Quilty Box or you didn't get an October box, come back during the Blog Hop for a chance to win!!When I told Tabitha I would be giving the box away as a prize, she offered a promo code, so if you check out Quilty Box and like what you see use the code below to save $5.00 on your first box! I used another bloggers code when I ordered my November box! Kinda Cool Now I have one!!
